THREE
Choose appropriate units of measurement for
area and volume and convert from one unit to
another.
Find perimeters and areas of parallelograms,
trapeziums, rhombuses and kites.
Investigate the relationship between features of
circles such as circumference, area, radius and
diameter. Use formulas to solve problems
involving circumference and area.
Develop formulas for volumes of rectangular
and triangular prisms and prisms in general. Use
formulas to solve problems involving volume.

(Criteria C and D)
Investigate techniques for collecting data,
including census, sampling and observation.
Explore the practicalities and implications of
obtaining data through sampling using a variety
of investigative processes.
Explore the variation of means and proportions
of random samples drawn from the same
population. Investigate the effect of individual
data values, including outliers, on the mean and
median.

Organising and
representing data that
we collect can help us
to better understand
and describe situations.

Learning to think about
algebraic models for
simple relationships
will help us start to
develop the skills we
will require to model
real life relationships.
