In this course you will:
- In everyday contexts, students solve a range of problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These problems include fractions, decimals, finding the square root of positive whole numbers that are perfect squares, and writing numbers in index form and expanding indices to find the basic numeral. The focus is on carrying out these computations without the use of electronic technology
- Use sensible rounding of figures (e.g. estimate a shopping bill where the cost of a number of individual items purchased is rounded to the nearest $5 or $10 figure or grouped into approximately these sums)
- Work with graphical, statistical and algebraic representations, and other mathematical models
- Find solutions using algebraic, graphic, arithmetic and/or numeric methods, with and/or without technology.
