In this course, students will develop the mathematical understanding and skills to solve problems relating to:

• Consumer Arithmetic
• Shape and Measurement
• Linear Equations and Their Graphs

Consumer arithmetic reviews the concepts of rate and percentage change in the context of earning and managing money and provides an opportunity to use spreadsheets. Shape and measurement build on and extend the knowledge and skills students developed in the P–10 Australian Curriculum with the concept of similarity and problems involving simple and compound geometric shapes. Students apply these skills in a range of practical contexts, including those involving three-dimensional shapes. Linear equations and their graphs use linear equations and straight-line graphs, as well as piece-wise linear graphs and step graphs, to model and analyse practical situations.
