This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 10 Mathematics. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration comparing and contrasting the effect of truncation or rounding on the final result of calculations when using approximations of real numbers rather than exact representations
- • Elaboration investigating the impact of approximation on multiple calculations in contexts that involve the area of compound shapes involving circles, the surface area and volume of compound objects, and repeated calculations of simple interest where the solutions are not exact cents
