Formulate and manipulate expressions: Year 9 – planning tool

This planning resource for Year 9 is for the topic of Formulate and manipulate expressions. Students move beyond expanding and factorising linear expressions, such as 3(2x – 1) or 4x + 6, to working with monic quadratic expressions (that is, where the coefficient of the square term is 1). This involves expanding expressions ...

Position and location: Year 8 – planning tool

This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Position and location. Students work with 3D objects that can be located on the x, y, z planes, allowing students to extend their thinking away from flat objects on a 2D plane, to objects with volume that have a position in space with (x, y, z) coordinates. Students ...
