Assessment Schedules

The Mathematics Resource Centre (available through Compass, on the star dropdown menu) provides Assessment Schedules for all Mathematics courses. While students will receive Assessment Notifications for formal Assessment Tasks via Google Classroom, reviewing the Assessment Schedule in advance can help students to begin preparing for their tasks earlier and allow them to have more time to identify areas where they may need additional study or practice.

Additionally, students are encouraged to utilise the range of resources available in the Mathematics Resource Centre to supplement their learning in the classroom and further enhance their understanding of mathematical concepts.

Over upcoming weeks in Mathematics, students will be studying:

Year 7 - Angle Relationships

Year 8 - Perimeter and Area

Year 9 -  Area and Surface Area

MATHS MARVEL: 

A Jiffy is an actual measure of time. For physicists, a jiffy is how long light takes to travel a distance of one femtometre, which is a millionth of a millionth of a millimetre.

MATHS MYSTERY - Course: Year 9 Mathematics

Families are encouraged to tackle this problem together. 

Sarah is planning to renovate her rectangular bedroom, which measures 5 metres long, 4 metres wide, and 3 metres high. She wants to paint the walls and ceiling and also replace the carpet on the floor. The room has one door that measures 2 metres high and 0.8 metres wide, and one window that measures 1.5 metres wide and 1 metre high.

• The cost of paint is $15 per square metre.
• The cost of the carpet is $30 per square metre.
• Sarah plans to paint all four walls and the ceiling, but she won't paint the door or the window.

Part A: Calculate the total surface area that Sarah needs to paint, taking into account the areas of the door and window, and determine the total cost of the paint.

Part B: Calculate the area of the floor to determine how much carpet she needs to buy, and then calculate the total cost of the carpet.

Part C: Finally, determine the total cost of the renovation, including both the paint and the carpet.

Students and Staff can enter their response to Part C here. 

The first 20 correct student entries will receive a merit.
