CONTENT

STATEMENT OF INQUIRY Relationships between the various representations of numbers help us to quantify the world around us. The development of patterns and relationships allows use to generalise our number system. Architects and Engineers must use finite resources responsibly when designing new structures. The development of patterns and relationships allows use to generalise our number system.
