Relevant NZ Ministry of Education Syllabus Points

Number & Algebra

• Solve linear equations and inequalities; introduce simultaneous equations.
• Understand quadratic relationships (patterns, graphs, factoring methods introduction).
• Use algebraic manipulation confidently (expanding, factorising, rearranging).

• Analyse linear functions in depth: slope, intercepts, modelling contexts.

Geometry & Measurement

• Apply the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA).
• Solve right-angled triangle problems in context.
• Work with circle geometry, including chords, tangents, angles.
• Calculate surface area and volume of cylinders, prisms, composite solids.

Statistics

• Conduct bivariate data investigations: scatter plots, lines of best fit.
• Compare distributions using shape, centre, and spread.
• Use statistical models to make predictions.
• Analyse probability distributions, including expected values.
