This mathematics work plan outlines the curriculum for a Year 9 extended mathematics class over semester 1 of 2018. It includes 8 topics to be covered from weeks 1 to 12, with 2-3 lessons devoted to each chapter. Key learning activities are listed for each topic. Formative and summative assessments include opening and skills assessment tasks, investigations, and a common test at the end of semester 1 to evaluate students' understanding of algebraic expansions and simplifications, linear equations, sets, radicals, coordinate geometry, measurement, and other concepts.

Year 9 Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 9, students solve problems involving simple interest. They interpret ratio and scale factors in similar figures. Students explain similarity of triangles. They recognise the connections between similarity and the trigonometric ratios. Students compare techniques for collecting data from primary and secondary sources. They make sense of the position of the mean and median in skewed, symmetric and bi-modal displays to describe and interpret data. Students apply the index laws to numbers and express numbers in scientific notation. They expand binomial expressions. They find the distance between two points on the Cartesian plane and the gradient and midpoint of a line segment. They sketch linear and non-linear relations. Students calculate areas of shapes and the volume and surface area of right prisms and cylinders. They use Pythagoras’ Theorem and trigonometry to find unknown sides of right-angled triangles. Students calculate relative frequencies to estimate probabilities, list outcomes for two-step experiments and assign probabilities for those outcomes. They construct histograms and back-to-back stem-and-leaf plots.
