AC9M7A06 Year 7 Mathematics

This Content Descriptor from Year 7 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.

manipulate formulas involving several variables using digital tools, and describe the effect of systematic variation in the values of the variables

Elaborations

• 1 experimenting with different sets of tables of values from formulas; for example, using volume of a rectangular prism = length × width × height, and specifying a fixed width and equal length and varying the height
• 2 using spreadsheets and the formula function to recognise the effect of changing parameters on the entries in cells
• 3 analysing distance travelled for different combinations of average speed and time of travel using a table of values and the distance formula
• 4 exploring how deep learning models used for training artificial intelligence agents can involve the manipulation of mathematical functions with multiple variables; for example, conducting a sensitivity analysis to understand the artificial intelligence model's behaviour
• 5 understanding that the relationship between variables in an artificial intelligence model assists with explainability and interpretability; for example, manipulating and analysing formulas allows researchers to gain insights into how and why a model makes certain predictions
