Achievement objective GM6-5

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:

  • recognise when shapes are similar and use proportional reasoning to find an unknown length.

Indicators

  • Recognises similar shapes using their properties.
  • Uses properties of similar shapes in solving problems:
    • matching angles are equal
    • matching lengths are proportional.
  • See key mathematical ideas on NZmaths.

Progression

GM6-5 links to M7-4.

Possible context elaborations
