In this lesson, students explore the use of network diagrams to represent connections, then apply a network-based COVID transmission simulation to hypothesise how a virus might spread through a small population.

• TLF-IDA003214

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 ...

This planning resource for Year 9 is for the topic of Interpret and discuss data displays. Students will be presented with various digital media to investigate and evaluate findings from reports of surveys. Students will make informative decisions based on their prior knowledge of sampling and data collection to make judgements ...

• TLF-IDA003648

This assessment includes a number of questions to enable students to demonstrate their understanding and learning in probability. Students will be asked to investigate an old gambling game known as Chuck-a-Luck. They will calculate the probabilities of each betting option and their expected values. The assessment task is ...

In this unit, let's investigate irrational numbers! We'll look at some examples of commonly used irrational numbers such as Pi (π), the 'Golden Ratio' and the natural logarithm 'e', and explore where irrational numbers have applications in the real world

• TLF-IDA003207

This planning resource for Year 9 is for the topic of Volume and surface area: cylinders. Students calculate the surface area, volume and capacity of cylinders and solve related problems.

• TLF-IDA003225

This planning resource for Year 9 is for the topic of Collect, sort and compare data. Students examine different techniques for collecting types of data and begin to consider the challenges of collecting representative data by sampling a population.

• TLF-IDA003247

This planning resource for Year 9 is for the topic of Represent collected data. Students are familiar with different types of visualisations of data and variables and can evaluate and interpret data displays. Students can label data as categorical (ordinal or nominal) or numerical (discrete or continuous) and consider which ...

In this lesson, students will create their own video game concept, complete with a loot box system. They will then calculate the probability of obtaining all unique items to form a complete set, considering the challenges this random system entails and how the gambling system inherent could lead to unexpected losses. The ...
