This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 7 Mathematics. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration building a rectangular prism out of unit cubes and showing that the measure of volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the 3 edge lengths or by multiplying the area of the base by the height/length
- • Elaboration developing the connection between the area of the parallel cross-section (base), the height and volume of a rectangular or triangular prism to other prisms
- • Elaboration connecting the area of the floor space and the number of floors of a high-rise building to calculate the volume of a building
- • Elaboration using dynamic geometry software, spatial reasoning and prediction to derive the formula for the volume of prisms
