use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving direct and inverse proportion and scaling of objects; formulate problems and interpret solutions in terms of the situation, including the impact of measurement errors on the accuracy of results; evaluate and modify models as necessary...
Elaborations
-
exploring contexts where measurement errors may impact research results and how measurement data impacted by error can result in biased findings
-
using plans and elevation drawings to investigate making changes to building designs, employing appropriate scales and converting to actual measurements within the context to make decisions about changes
-
analysing and applying scale and ratios in situations such as production prototypes and 3D printing; for example, using a 3D printer to produce scaled versions of actual objects
-
estimating the scale of an object by measuring a linear dimension and using typical life-size dimensions to determine the scale factor; for example, measuring the dimensions of a toy car to determine a scale that can be used to estimate the dimensions of a life-size car
-
investigating compliance with building codes and standards in design and construction, such as for escalators in shopping centres
