AC9M10SP03 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.

design, test and refine solutions to spatial problems using algorithms and digital tools; communicate and justify solutions

Elaborations

• 1 designing and making scale models of three-dimensional objects using digital tools; for example, making components of a puzzle using a three-dimensional printer, planning and designing the puzzle using principles of tessellations
• 2 applying a computational thinking approach to solving problems involving networks; for example, connectedness, coverage and weighted measures; taking different routes and choosing the most efficient route to take when travelling by car using virtual map software
• 3 defining and decomposing spatial problems, creating and applying algorithms to generate solutions, evaluating and communicating solutions in terms of the problem; for example, designing a floor plan for a department store that limits congestion at key areas such as checkouts, changing rooms and popular sale items
• 4 designing, creating and testing algorithms using pseudocode or flow charts for producing self-similar patterns; validating algorithms using a range of test cases to compare their output
• 5 exploring geospatial technologies used by First Nations Australians’ communities to consider spatial problems including position and transformation
