All mathematics has a rich history and a cultural context in which it was first discovered or used. The opportunity to consider the lives of specific mathematicians is promoted when studying Pythagoras’ Theorem. When solving mathematical problems students will develop their creative skills. Students are encouraged to question “why”; they compose proofs and arguments and make assumptions. Students learn geometrical reasoning through knowledge and application of angle rules.

The slope of a line
Lines that never meet

A function that contains a squared term
A number that when multiplied by itself an indicated number of times forms a product equal to a specified number
The relation between two expressions that are greater or less than each other
One of a pair of numbers whose product is 1
Power
An expression containing one or more irrational roots of numbers, such as 2√3, 3√2 + 6
A number written in the form a × 〖10〗^b where a is a number between 1 and 10 (not including 10)
Mathematics provides opportunities for students to develop a sense of “awe and wonder”. Standard form promotes “awe and wonder” by providing a way for students to write extremely large and extremely small numbers.

The set of all elements in a Venn Diagram
The intersection of two or more sets are the members common to all sets
The union of two or more sets is the combination of all the individual members of both sets
A list of all possible probability events
The probability of an event (A), given that another (B) has already occurred
Two or more events are said to be mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time
Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other.
The topic of probability provides opportunities for students to consider whether situations are fair or biased and discuss gambling, betting, lotteries, raffles and games of chance. A knowledge of probability will benefit students’ functioning in society as they will understand bias and the chance of an event happening.

A sequence in which each term is obtained by adding a constant number to the preceding term e.g. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13,…
A sequence in which each term after the first term a is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant r, called the common ratio e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ...
Two quantities are directly proportional when one quantity increases the other increases by the same amount. If y is directly proportional to x, this can be written as y ∝ x or y = kx
Two quantities are inversely proportional when one quantity increases the other decreases. If y is inversely proportional to x, this can be written as y ∝ 1/x or y= k/x
All mathematics has a rich history and a cultural context in which it was first discovered or used. The opportunity to consider the lives of specific mathematicians is promoted when studying Fibonacci sequences. Numerical fluency and an understanding of proportion will benefit students’ functioning in society. For example to be able to convert between units, or state which is the better value for money? . Students enjoy exploring patterns and sequences, making predictions and generalisations. Mathematics provides opportunities for students to develop a sense of “awe and wonder”. Mathematical investigations produce beautiful elegance in their surprising symmetries, patterns or results.
