Mathematics Version 2.0 / Level 8 / Number

Content description

use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including financial contexts involving profit and loss; formulate problems, choosing efficient mental and written calculation strategies and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the context, reviewing the appropriateness of the model

Elaborations

modelling situations involving weather and environmental contexts, including temperature or sea depths, by applying operations to positive and negative rational numbers, for example, contexts involving average temperature increases and decreases
modelling situations that involve percentage increases or decreases and explaining why it is an increase or decrease, such as mark-ups, discounts, Goods and Services Tax (GST), changes in populations or recycling rates
modelling situations involving personal income tax, and interpreting tax tables to determine income tax at various levels of income, including overall percentage of income allocated to tax
