Properties of Polygons
Properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons

Key ideas
Strategies like guess-and-check, look-for-a-pattern, work-backwards, and eliminate-possibilities each fit different puzzles.
Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value; precision is how finely and consistently it is measured.
The sine law (a/sinA = b/sinB) fits when you know an angle and its opposite side.
Triangles: isosceles, equilateral, scalene, and right, each with distinct side/angle properties.
A translation slides, a rotation turns about a point, and a reflection flips across a line — all keep size and shape.
Watch out for
- Confusing a strategy that worked once with one that always works.
- Using 'precise' and 'accurate' as synonyms.
- Using the sine law when the given information suits the cosine law.

Financial and Business Mathematics
Acquiring a Vehicle
Buying a vehicle, with and without credit
I can compare buying a vehicle outright versus financing it.
Official code: WA30.6
Leasing and leasing to purchase
I can evaluate leasing versus leasing-to-purchase and justify a decision.
Official code: WA30.6
Small Business Viability
Expenses, sales, and profit or loss
I can identify a small business's expenses, sales, and profit or loss.
Official code: WA30.7
Break-even and improving viability
I can find a business's break-even point and suggest ways to improve it.
Official code: WA30.7
The official wording · 4 outcomes
- WA30.6
- options for acquiring a vehicle including: • purchasing without credit • purchasing with credit
- WA30.6
- • leasing • leasing to purchase.
- WA30.7
- the viability of small business options with respect to: • expenses • sales • profit or loss.
- WA30.7
- the viability of small business options with respect to: • expenses • sales • profit or loss.
Key ideas
Buying without credit pays the full price up front; buying with credit spreads it out but adds interest.
Fixed expenses (rent, insurance) stay the same; variable expenses (supplies) rise with sales.
The total cost of a financed purchase is the sum of all payments plus fees.
Profit = sales − total expenses; a negative result is a loss.
A larger down payment lowers the amount financed and the total interest.
Watch out for
- Comparing only the monthly payment instead of the total cost.
- Confusing revenue (sales) with profit.
- Ignoring interest and fees when financing.

Linear Relations and Statistics
Linear Relations
Representing linear relations
I can show a linear relation as a table, graph, and equation.
Official code: WA30.8
Patterns, trends, and scatterplots
I can make a scatterplot and describe its trend.
Official code: WA30.8
Interpolation and extrapolation
I can interpolate and extrapolate from a linear relation and judge the prediction.
Official code: WA30.8
Solving linear-relation problems
I can solve an applied problem using a linear relation.
Official code: WA30.8
Measures of Central Tendency
Mean, median, and mode
I can find the mean, median, and mode and say which fits the data best.
Official code: WA30.9
Outliers and the trimmed mean
I can spot outliers, explain their effect, and compute a trimmed mean.
Official code: WA30.9
The weighted mean
I can calculate a weighted mean and explain why weights are used.
Official code: WA30.9
Percentiles
Percentiles and percentile rank
I can interpret a percentile rank and solve a percentile problem.
Official code: WA30.10
Applied Probability
Calculating and expressing probability

Key ideas
A linear relation has a constant rate of change; its graph is a straight line.
Mean is the sum divided by the count; median is the middle value; mode is the most frequent.
A percentile rank tells the percentage of the group at or below a value.
Experimental probability = favourable outcomes ÷ total observed outcomes.
Direct variation passes through the origin (y = mx); partial variation has a starting value (y = mx + b).
Watch out for
- Connecting points on a graph of discrete data that shouldn't be joined.
- Assuming the mean always best represents the data.
- Confusing percentile rank with percent score.
