Skill 1.4
The official wording · 4 outcomes
- 1.1
- Solve problems that involve the application of rates.
- 1.2
- Solve problems that involve scale diagrams, using proportional reasoning.
- 1.3
- Demonstrate an understanding of the relationships among scale factors, areas, surface areas, and volumes of similar 2-D shapes and 3-D objects.
- 1.4
- Demonstrate an understanding of the relationships among scale factors, areas, surface areas, and volumes of similar 2-D shapes and 3-D objects.
Key ideas
A rate compares two quantities with different units, like km/h.
The slope of a rate graph is the rate itself.
A scale factor relates a diagram's size to the real object.
Proportional reasoning scales any dimension up or down.
Area scales by the square of the scale factor.
Watch out for
- Comparing rates with different units without converting.
- Reading the rate off a graph with the axes swapped.
- Inverting the scale factor.

- Derive proofs that involve the properties of angles and triangles.
- 2.2
- Solve problems that involve the properties of angles and triangles.
- 2.3
- Solve problems that involve the cosine law and the sine law, including the ambiguous case.
- 2.4
- Solve problems that involve the cosine law and the sine law, including the ambiguous case.
Key ideas
Inductive reasoning spots a pattern; deductive reasoning proves it always holds.
The interior angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees.
Angle relationships at a transversal find unknown angles.
Triangle properties constrain the remaining angles.
The cosine law relates all three sides and one angle.
Watch out for
- Treating a single example as a proof.
- Assuming parallel-line rules when lines are not parallel.
- Applying transversal rules to non-parallel lines.

Unit 3 · 2 skills
Logical Reasoning
Reasoning, Proof, and Puzzles
Conjectures and proof
I can make, prove, or disprove a conjecture.
Skill 3.1
Analyzing puzzles and games
I can analyze a puzzle or game and justify a winning strategy formally.
Skill 3.2
The official wording · 2 outcomes
- 3.1
- Analyze and prove conjectures, using inductive and deductive reasoning, to solve problems.
- 3.2
- Analyze puzzles and games that involve spatial reasoning, using problem-solving strategies.
Key ideas
Inductive reasoning proposes a conjecture from patterns.
A single counter-example disproves a conjecture.
A strategy can be justified with a reasoning chain, not just tried.
Analyzing errors sharpens the strategy.
Watch out for
- Believing many examples prove a conjecture.
- Overlooking a counter-example.
- Describing a strategy without justifying why it works.

Unit 4 · 3 skills
Statistics
Normal Distribution and Statistical Inference
Standard deviation and the normal curve
I can find and interpret the standard deviation of a normal distribution.
Skill 4.1
Z-scores
I can find and interpret a z-score.
Skill 4.2
Confidence intervals and margin of error
I can interpret confidence intervals and margin of error in real data.
Skill 4.3
The official wording · 3 outcomes
- 4.1
- Demonstrate an understanding of normal distribution, including standard deviation
- 4.2
- Demonstrate an understanding of normal distribution, including z-scores
- 4.3
- Interpret statistical data, using confidence intervals confidence levels margin of error
Key ideas
Standard deviation measures the spread of data around the mean.
A normal curve is symmetric, with mean, median, and mode at the centre.
A z-score tells how many standard deviations a value is from the mean.
z = (value - mean) divided by the standard deviation.
A margin of error gives a range around a sample estimate.
Watch out for
- Confusing standard deviation with the mean.
- Assuming any spread-out data is normal.
- Forgetting to divide by the standard deviation.

Unit 5 · 3 skills
Relations and Functions
Inequalities and Quadratic Models
Systems of linear inequalities and linear programming
I can model and solve a system of linear inequalities and optimize.
Skill 5.1
Vertex and intercepts of a quadratic model
I can find the vertex and intercepts of a quadratic model with technology.
Skill 5.2
Domain, range, and symmetry of a quadratic model
I can describe a quadratic model's domain, range, and symmetry and use it.
Skill 5.3
The official wording · 3 outcomes
- 5.1
- Model and solve problems that involve systems of linear inequalities in two variables.
- 5.2
- Demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of quadratic functions, including vertex intercepts
- 5.3
- Demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of quadratic functions, including domain and range axis of symmetry
Key ideas
Each inequality shades a half-plane; the overlap is the feasible region.
Linear programming optimizes an objective at a vertex of the feasible region.
The vertex is the maximum or minimum point of a parabola.
The x-intercepts are the zeros of the function and roots of the equation.
The axis of symmetry passes vertically through the vertex.
Watch out for
- Shading the wrong side of a boundary line.
- Using a solid line where a broken line is needed.
- Confusing the vertex with an intercept.

Mathematics Research Project
Mathematics Research Project
Designing the research inquiry
I can choose a historical mathematics topic and plan my inquiry.
Skill 6.1
Researching and analyzing the data
I can gather data and judge whether it is reliable and relevant.
Skill 6.2
Presenting the research project
I can organize and present my mathematics research clearly.
Skill 6.3
The official wording · 3 outcomes
- 6.1
- Research and give a presentation on a historical event or an area of interest that involves mathematics.
- 6.2
- Research and give a presentation on a historical event or an area of interest that involves mathematics.
- 6.3
- Research and give a presentation on a historical event or an area of interest that involves mathematics.
Key ideas
A good inquiry question is focused and connects to real mathematics.
Primary data is collected first-hand; secondary data comes from existing sources.
Sources should be checked for bias, reliability, and relevance.
Statistical methods help interpret the collected data.
A clear presentation walks the audience from question to evidence to conclusion.
Watch out for
- Picking a topic too broad to research.
- Confusing primary and secondary data.
- Accepting a source without checking for bias.
