Key ideas
Any operation applied to one side of a formula must be applied to the other.
Strategies include guess and check, look for a pattern, systematic list, model, eliminate possibilities, and work backwards.
Volume of a prism or cylinder = base area x height; a cone or pyramid is one third of that.
Solve one right triangle to find a shared side, then use it in the next triangle.
The top, front, and side views are 2-D drawings of an object from three directions.
Watch out for
- Applying an operation to only one side.
- Guessing randomly instead of using a systematic strategy.
- Forgetting the one-third factor for cones and pyramids.

Banking and Credit
Banking services and accounts
I can compare banking services and choose an account that fits a situation.
Official code: WA20.8
Credit options
I can compare credit options and solve problems about their costs.
Official code: WA20.8

- WA20.6
- Demonstrate understanding of personal budgets and their importance for financial planning.
- WA20.7
- Demonstrate understanding of compound interest.
- WA20.7
- Demonstrate understanding of compound interest.
- WA20.8
- Demonstrate understanding of financial institution services used to access and manage personal finances, including credit options.
- WA20.8
- financial institution services used to access and manage personal finances, including credit options.
Key ideas
A budget lists income and expenses so spending does not exceed earnings.
Simple interest is I = prt, earned only on the principal.
Services include chequing and savings accounts, online and mobile banking, ATMs, and debit.
Recurring and unexpected expenses must both be planned for.
Compound interest is earned on the principal plus accumulated interest, so it grows faster.
Watch out for
- Leaving out irregular or unexpected expenses.
- Treating compound interest as simple interest.
- Ignoring monthly fees when comparing accounts.

Unit 3 · 6 skills
Slope, Scale, and Data
Slope
Slope as rise over run and rate of change
I can find slope as rise over run and interpret it as a rate of change on the job.
Official code: WA20.9
Solving slope problems
I can solve a real problem involving slope and check that the answer is reasonable.
Official code: WA20.9
Unit Analysis and Scale
Unit analysis conversions
I can use unit analysis to convert a rate or measurement.
Official code: WA20.10
Scale drawings and models
I can find real dimensions from a scale drawing and create a scale drawing.
Official code: WA20.10
Representing Data with Graphs
Histograms and bar graphs
I can build and read a histogram or bar graph and tell them apart.
Official code: WA20.11
Line and circle graphs and trends
I can read trends from line and circle graphs and spot misleading ones.
Official code: WA20.11
The official wording · 6 outcomes
- WA20.9
- Demonstrate concretely, pictorially, and symbolically (with and without the use of technology) an understanding of slope with respect to: • rise over run • rate of change
- WA20.9
- understanding of slope with respect to: • solving problems.
- WA20.10
- Extend and apply proportional thinking to solve problems that involve unit analysis and scale.
- WA20.10
- proportional thinking to solve problems that involve unit analysis and scale.
- WA20.11
- Extend and apply understanding of representing data using graphs including: • bar graphs • histograms
- WA20.11
- representing data using graphs including: • line graphs • circle graphs.
Key ideas
Slope = rise/run, e.g. a roof rising 3 over a run of 12 has slope 3:12.
Multiply by conversion factors (ratios equal to 1) so unwanted units cancel.
A bar graph compares categories; a histogram shows the frequency of continuous data in intervals.
As a rate of change, slope describes how one quantity changes per unit of another.
Chain factors to convert a compound rate, e.g. km/h to m/s.
Watch out for
- Computing run over rise instead of rise over run.
- Setting up a factor so the wrong unit cancels.
- Leaving gaps between histogram bars.
