What Year 10 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 10 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students make and test conjectures involving functions and relations using digital tools.
- Students design and conduct simulations involving conditional probability, using digital tools.
- They apply conditional probability to solve problems involving compound events.
- Students compare the distribution of continuous numerical data using various displays, and discuss distributions in terms of centre, spread, shape and outliers.
- Students apply Pythagoras’ theorem and trigonometry to solve practical problems involving right-angled triangles.
- They solve measurement problems involving surface area and volume of composite objects.
The Algebra progression either side of AC9M10A02
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Taught before · Year 9
- AC9M9A01apply the exponent laws to numerical expressions with integer exponents and extend to variables
- AC9M9A02simplify algebraic expressions, expand binomial products and factorise monic quadratic expressions
- AC9M9A03find the gradient of a line segment, the midpoint of the line interval and the distance between 2 distinct points on the Cartesian plane
Other Year 10 Algebra codes
- AC9M10A01expand, factorise and simplify expressions and solve equations algebraically, applying exponent laws involving products, quotients and powers of variables, and the distributive property
- AC9M10A03recognise the connection between algebraic and graphical representations of exponential relations and solve related exponential equations, using digital tools where appropriate
- AC9M10A04use mathematical modelling to solve applied problems involving growth and decay, including financial contexts; formulate problems, choosing to apply linear, quadratic or exponential models; interpret solutions in terms of the situation; evaluate and modify models as necessary and report assumptions, methods and findings
- AC9M10A05experiment with functions and relations using digital tools, making and testing conjectures and generalising emerging patterns
