What Year 7 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 7 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students classify polygons according to their features and create an algorithm designed to sort and classify shapes.
- They represent objects two-dimensionally in different ways, describing the usefulness of these representations.
- Students choose between equivalent representations of rational numbers and percentages to assist in calculations.
- Students interpret data in terms of the shape of distribution and summary statistics, identifying possible outliers.
- Students solve problems involving addition and subtraction of integers.
- They solve linear equations with natural number solutions.
The Probability progression either side of AC9M7P01
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 6
- AC9M6P01recognise that probabilities lie on numerical scales of 0 – 1 or 0% – 100% and use estimation to assign probabilities that events occur in a given context, using common fractions, percentages and decimals
- AC9M6P02conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials
Builds towards · Year 8
- AC9M8P01recognise that complementary events have a combined probability of one; use this relationship to calculate probabilities in applied contexts
- AC9M8P02determine all possible combinations for 2 events, using two-way tables, tree diagrams and Venn diagrams, and use these to determine probabilities of specific outcomes in practical situations
- AC9M8P03conduct repeated chance experiments and simulations, using digital tools to determine probabilities for compound events, and describe results
