• VCMNA363

  Use function notation to describe the relationship between dependent and independent variables in modelling contexts

  Elaborations

  • identify independent and dependent variables in modelling contexts and represent the relation between them using tables, graphs and rules
  • using technology to draw graphs of functions defined using function notation with consideration of domain and range

  VCMNA363 | Mathematics | Level 10A | Number and Algebra | Linear and non-linear relationships

• VCMNA364

  Solve simultaneous equations using systematic guess-check-and-refine with digital technology

  Elaborations

  • using graphs to determine a convergent set of intervals which contain a point of intersection of the graphs of two functions
  • using cobweb diagram to solve simultaneous equations numerically

  VCMNA364 | Mathematics | Level 10A | Number and Algebra | Linear and non-linear relationships

• VCMNA358

  Devise and use algorithms and simulations to solve mathematical problems

  Elaborations

  • applying a systematic guess-check-and-refine algorithm to identify an approximate value for the root of an equation in an interval
  • developing simulations for counter-intuitive problems in probability such as the Monty Hall problem or derangements

  VCMNA358 | Mathematics | Level 10A | Number and Algebra | Patterns and algebra

• VCMSP371

  Investigate reports of studies in digital media and elsewhere for information on their planning and implementation

  Elaborations

  • evaluating the appropriateness of sampling methods in reports where statements about a population are based on a sample
  • evaluating whether graphs in a report could mislead, and whether graphs and numerical information support the claims

  VCMSP371 | Mathematics | Level 10A | Statistics and Probability | Chance

• VCMSP373

  Use digital technology to investigate bivariate numerical data sets. Where appropriate use a straight line to describe the relationship allowing for variation, make predictions based on this straight line and discuss limitations

  Elaborations

  • investigating different techniques for finding a ‘line of best fit’
  • using a fitted line to data to make predictions between and beyond existing data value sand discuss limitations of these predictions

  VCMSP373 | Mathematics | Level 10A | Statistics and Probability | Data representation and interpretation

• VCMSP372

  Calculate and interpret the mean and standard deviation of data and use these to compare data sets. Investigate the effect of individual data values including outliers, on the standard deviation

  Elaborations

  • using the standard deviation to describe the spread of a set of data
  • using the mean and standard deviation to compare numerical data sets
  • constructing distributions for the mean and standard deviation of simple random samples from a population
