Taught alongside it

The rest of Space in Year 7.

AC9M7SP01

represent objects in 2 dimensions; discuss and reason about the advantages and disadvantages of different representations

AC9M7SP02

classify triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons according to their side and angle properties; identify and reason about relationships

AC9M7SP04

design and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that will sort and classify sets of shapes according to their attributes, and describe how the algorithms work

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M7SP03 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 7.

  1. Year 6AC9M6SP01compare the parallel cross-sections of objects and recognise their relationships to right prisms
  2. Year 6AC9M6SP02locate points in the 4 quadrants of a Cartesian plane; describe changes to the coordinates when a point is moved to a different position in the plane
  3. Year 6AC9M6SP03recognise and use combinations of transformations to create tessellations and other geometric patterns, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate
  4. Year 8AC9M8SP01identify the conditions for congruence and similarity of triangles and explain the conditions for other sets of common shapes to be congruent or similar, including those formed by transformations
  5. Year 8AC9M8SP02establish properties of quadrilaterals using congruent triangles and angle properties, and solve related problems explaining reasoning
  6. Year 8AC9M8SP03describe the position and location of objects in 3 dimensions in different ways, including using a three-dimensional coordinate system with the use of dynamic geometric software and other digital tools
  7. Year 8AC9M8SP04design, create and test algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that identify congruency or similarity of shapes, and describe how the algorithm works
