Year 10 Maths Standard is designed to help all students develop strong mathematical skills, regardless of their starting level.
This subject focuses on building confidence, essential algebraic skills and a solid mathematical foundation and provides the necessary preparation for Senior Mathematics.
Algebra skills
Integration of technology
Problem solving
Graphing and Sketching
Applying mathematical processes in both routine and non-routine questions
Networks: interpret networks and network diagrams used to represent relationships in practical situations and describe connectedness
Exponential, Logarithm and Surds: Explore exponent laws, solve exponential equations, and apply mathematical modeling to growth, decay, and financial contexts
Linear Models and Coordinate Geometry: Solve linear equations, inequalities, and simultaneous equations, and explore gradients of parallel and perpendicular lines.
Expanding and Factorising: Develop algebraic manipulation skills by factorizing expressions, expanding binomials, and working with algebraic fractions.
Quadratics and Parabola Sketching: Learn to solve quadratic equations, factorize expressions, and sketch parabolas with transformations using algebraic and graphical methods.
Measurement: Solve real-world problems involving surface area and volume of composite shapes, including pyramids, cones, and spheres.
Statistics: Analyse data distributions, interpret scatterplots, construct two-way tables, evaluate statistical claims, and use digital tools to investigate relationships between variables.
Trigonometry: Apply Pythagoras’ theorem and trigonometry to solve real-world problems, including three-dimensional and non-right-angled triangles.
Probability: Review probability, investigate conditional probability and independence, and analyse multi-step experiments.
Pseudocoding: Introduction to algorithms using pseudocode to develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills.
Introduction to Functions and basic application: Use function notation and explore different types of functions (quadratic, reciprocal, circle, and exponential) through algebraic and graphical representations.
