Year 9 Mathematics Advanced 

TERM 2, 2026

Students will begin Term 2 with Topic 4 – Data Analysis A, students will explore data variation by calculating standard deviation and interquartile ranges, while gaining practical skills in constructing and comparing parallel box plots to identify symmetry and skewness.

In Topic 5 – Numbers of any Magnitude, students will learn to identifying very large and small measurements across real-world contexts, where students will master scientific notation and calculate absolute and percentage errors to ensure precision.

In Topic 6 – Algebraic Techniques B, students will expand their toolkit by simplifying algebraic fractions involving indices and mastering the expansion and factorisation of binomial products and monic quadratic trinomials.

Lastly, Topic 7 Equations A, B, students will solve complex linear and monic quadratic equations, while also learning to accurately solve and graph linear inequalities on a number line.

During Term 2, students will complete Task 2 which contributes to 20% of the overall Semester 1 Report mark, and 20% of the students’ overall assessment for the year.
