This planning resource for Year 9 is for the topic of Algorithms. Students draw upon their knowledge of congruency, transformations and ratios of right-angled triangles and apply creativity, critical thinking and reasoning skills to a sequenced geometric problem. For example, students may design a flow chart to prove the ...

Create a flowchart to represent a sequence of (branching) steps and decisions needed to solve a mathematical problem.

• TLF-IDA003388

This lesson sequence provides an introduction to the skill of decomposition by having students develop discrete modules which together serve a single need: a maths teacher asks for a program that can be used to demonstrate aspects of maths. This sequence can be used in conjunction with ‘Comparing and selecting appropriate ...
