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.
