Content description

use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving ratios of lengths, areas and volumes; formulate problems, interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying choices made about the representation

Elaborations

using fractions to model and solve ratio problems involving comparison of quantities, and considering part-part and part-whole relations
modelling and solving practical problems involving ratios of length, capacity or mass, such as in construction, design, or food or textile production; for example, mixing concrete, the golden ratio in design, mixing a salad dressing
modelling the situation using manipulatives, diagrams and/or mathematical discussion; for example, mixing primary colours in a variety of ratios to investigate how new colours are created and the strength of those colours
investigating commercialised substances founded on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ knowledges of substances, including pharmaceuticals and toxins, understanding how ratios are used in their development
