Achievement objective GM6-4

In a range of meaningful contexts, students will be engaged in thinking mathematically and statistically. They will solve problems and model situations that require them to:

  • deduce and apply the angle properties related to circles.

Indicators

  • Finds unknown angles in circles using angle properties, including:
    • angle at centre is twice the angle at circumference on the same arc
    • angles subtended by the same arc are equal
    • radius perpendicular to the tangent
    • angle in a semi-circle equals 90°
    • opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add to 180°
    • each exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the opposite interior angle.
  • Communicates reasoning, citing the angle properties used to solve problems.
  • See key mathematical ideas on NZmaths.

Progression

GM6-4 links to M7-5, M8-4.

Possible context elaborations

  • Proofs of the angle properties of circles.
  • Find unknown lengths and angles in circles and justify these using angle properties.

Assessment for qualifications

NCEA achievement standards at level 1, 2 and 3 have been aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum. Please ensure that you are using the correct version of the standards by going to the NZQA website.
