AC9M10M05 Year 10 Mathematics

This Content Descriptor from Year 10 Mathematics provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving proportion and scaling of objects; formulate problems and interpret solutions in terms of the situation; evaluate and modify models as necessary, and report assumptions, methods and findings

Elaborations

• 1 using plans and elevation drawings to investigate making changes to building designs, employing appropriate scales and converting to actual measurements within the context to make decisions about changes
• 2 analysing and applying scale and ratios in situations such as production prototypes and 3D printing; for example, using a 3D printer to produce scaled versions of actual objects
• 3 estimating the scale of an object, such as a toy car, by measuring a linear dimension and using a typical car dimension to work out the scale factor
• 4 investigating compliance with building codes and standards in design and construction, such as for escalators in shopping centres
• 5 investigating how artificial intelligence image generators use proportion and scaling techniques, such as aspect ratio preservation, to ensure that the generated content adheres to realistic visual principles and maintains appropriate relationships between objects and elements within the scene
