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 Statistics progression either side of AC9M10ST01
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
- AC9M9ST01analyse reports of surveys in digital media and elsewhere for information on how data was obtained to estimate population means and medians
- AC9M9ST02analyse how different sampling methods can affect the results of surveys and how choice of representation can be used to support a particular point of view
- AC9M9ST03represent the distribution of multiple data sets for numerical variables using comparative representations; compare data distributions with consideration of centre, spread and shape, and the effect of outliers on these measures
Other Year 10 Statistics codes
- AC9M10ST02compare data distributions for continuous numerical variables using appropriate data displays including boxplots; discuss the shapes of these distributions in terms of centre, spread, shape and outliers in the context of the data
- AC9M10ST03construct scatterplots and comment on the association between the 2 numerical variables in terms of strength, direction and linearity
- AC9M10ST04construct two-way tables and discuss possible relationship between categorical variables
- AC9M10ST05plan and conduct statistical investigations of situations that involve bivariate data; evaluate and report findings with consideration of limitations of any inferences
