This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 9 Mathematics. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Elaborations

  • • Elaboration understanding that relative frequencies from large data sets or long-run experiments can provide reliable measures of probability and can be used to make predictions of decisions
  • • Elaboration using Venn diagrams or two-way tables to estimate frequencies of events involving “and”, “or” questions
  • • Elaboration designing, testing and refining an algorithm used to determine relative frequencies from a generated data set, to estimate different probabilities
