Measurement

This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 10 Mathematics. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Elaborations

  • • Elaboration determining the volumes and surface areas of composite solids, formed from a range of right prisms and cylinders, by considering the individual solids from which they are constructed
  • • Elaboration estimating the surface area and volume of composite objects in practical contexts
  • • Elaboration using mathematical modelling to provide solutions to problems involving surface area and volume; for example, ascertaining the rainfall that can be saved from a roof top and the optimal shape and dimensions for rainwater storage based on where it will be located on a property; determining whether to hire extra freezer space for the amount of ice cream required at a fundraising event for the school or community
