Semester 2 Examination Weeks 5 and 6, Term 4 (Criteria A, C)

Identify corresponding, alternate and co- interior angles when two straight lines are crossed by a transversal. Investigate conditions for two lines to be parallel and solve simple numerical problems using reasoning. Demonstrate that the angle sum of a triangle is o 180 and use this to find the angle sum of a quadrilateral.

Orientation in space and time

Logic is a powerful tool for justifying what we discover through measurement and observation.

Logic:

Geometry: 

Parallel line angles Angle sum, triangles, quadrilaterals (Chapter 10)



Measurement



Justification



FOUR



Identify complementary events and use the sum of probabilities to solve problems.

Identities and relationships

Establishing patterns in the natural world can help in

Relationships:

Probability: 

Probability, Venn diagrams (Chapter 14)



Change

Describe events using language of “at least”, exclusive “or” (A or B but not both), inclusive “or” (A or B or both) and “and”.
