Year 8 MATHEMATICS PROGRAMME

2023
About the Programme
This course is designed for gifted students who will be working twelve months ahead of their peers by the end of the school year and hence are predominantly
accessing the Australian Curriculum (AC) Year 8 and 9 content.
Students are extended further, where in addition to the Accelerated curriculum, there is an emphasis on problem-solving (including the use of Computational
and Algorithmic Thinking) and the involvement in competitions such as, but not limited to, Have Sum Fun, the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians
(MCYA), the Australian Problem-Solving Mathematical Olympiads (APSMO) and WA Junior Mathematics Olympiad (WAJO).

Year Levels Description

The proficiency strands understanding, fluency, problem-solving and reasoning are an integral part of mathematics content across the three content strands:
number and algebra, measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability. The proficiencies reinforce the significance of working mathematically within
the content and describe how the content is explored or developed. They provide the language to build in the developmental aspects of the learning of
mathematics. The achievement standards reflect the content and encompass the proficiencies.

At this year level:

 understanding includes describing patterns involving indices and recurring decimals, identifying commonalities between operations with algebra and
arithmetic, connecting rules for linear relations with their graphs, explaining the purpose of statistical measures and explaining measurements of
perimeter and area as well as describing the relationship between graphs and equations, simplifying a range of algebraic expressions and explaining
the use of relative frequencies to estimate probabilities and of the trigonometric ratios for right-angle triangles
 fluency includes calculating accurately with simple decimals, indices and integers; recognising equivalence of common decimals and fractions
including recurring decimals; factorising and simplifying basic algebraic expressions and evaluating perimeters and areas of common shapes and
volumes of three-dimensional objects as well as applying the index laws to expressions with integer indices, expressing numbers in scientific notation,
listing outcomes for experiments, developing familiarity with calculations involving the Cartesian plane and calculating areas of shapes and surface
areas of prisms
 problem-solving includes formulating and modelling practical situations involving ratios, profit and loss, areas and perimeters of common shapes and
using two-way tables and Venn diagrams to calculate probabilities as well as formulating and modelling practical situations involving surface areas and
volumes of right prisms, applying ratio and scale factors to similar figures, solving problems involving right-angle trigonometry and collecting data from
secondary sources to investigate an issue
 reasoning includes justifying the result of a calculation or estimation as reasonable, deriving probability from its complement, using congruence to
deduce properties of triangles, finding estimates of means and proportions of populations as well as following mathematical arguments, evaluating
media reports and using statistical knowledge to clarify situations, developing strategies in investigating similarity and sketching linear graphs.
