Coverage is the percentage of listed content descriptions with at least one linked practice skill; it does not measure how fully every part of an entry is practised. A skill can practise more than one content description, so some appear more than once below.

Number
  1. VC2M7N01describe the relationship between perfect square numbers and square roots, and use squares of numbers and square roots of perfect square numbers to solve problems

  2. VC2M7N02represent natural numbers in expanded notation using powers of 10, and as products of powers of prime numbers using exponent notation

  3. VC2M7N03find equivalent representations of rational numbers and represent positive and negative rational numbers and mixed numbers on a number line

  4. VC2M7N04round decimals to a given accuracy appropriate to the context and use appropriate rounding and estimation to check the reasonableness of computations

  5. VC2M7N05multiply and divide fractions and decimals using efficient mental and written strategies, and digital tools

  6. VC2M7N06use the 4 operations with positive rational numbers, including fractions and decimals, to solve problems using efficient mental and written calculation strategies

  7. VC2M7N07find percentages of quantities and express one quantity as a percentage of another, with and without digital tools

  8. VC2M7N08compare, order and solve problems involving addition and subtraction of integers

  9. VC2M7N09recognise, represent and solve problems involving ratios

  10. VC2M7N10use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including financial contexts such as 'best buys'; formulate problems, choosing representations and efficient calculation strategies, designing algorithms and using digital tools as appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying choices made about the representation

Algebra
  1. VC2M7A01recognise and use variables to represent everyday formulas algebraically and substitute values into formulas to determine an unknown

  2. VC2M7A02apply the associative, commutative and distributive laws to aid mental and written computation, and formulate algebraic expressions using constants, variables, operations and brackets

  4. VC2M7A04investigate, interpret and describe relationships between variables represented in graphs of functions developed from authentic data

  5. VC2M7A05generate tables of values from visually changing patterns or the rule of a function; describe and plot these relationships on the Cartesian plane

  6. VC2M7A06manipulate formulas involving several variables using digital tools, and describe the effect of systematic variation in the values of the variables

Measurement
  1. VC2M7M01establish the formulas for areas of rectangles, triangles and parallelograms and use these in problem-solving

  2. VC2M7M02solve problems involving the volume of right prisms including rectangular and triangular prisms, using established formulas and appropriate units

  3. VC2M7M03describe the relationship between π and the circumference, radius and diameter of a circle

  4. VC2M7M04identify corresponding, alternate and co-interior relationships between angles formed when parallel lines are crossed by a transversal; use them to solve problems and explain reasons

  5. VC2M7M05demonstrate that the interior angle sum of a triangle in the plane is 180° and apply this to determine the interior angle sum of other shapes and the size of unknown angles

  6. VC2M7M06use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving ratios of lengths, areas and volumes; formulate problems, interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying choices made about the representation

Space
  1. VC2M7SP01represent three-dimensional objects in 2 dimensions; discuss and reason about the advantages and disadvantages of different representations

  2. VC2M7SP02classify triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons according to their side and angle properties; identify and reason about relationships

  3. VC2M7SP03describe the effect of transformations of a set of points using coordinates in the Cartesian plane, including translations, reflections in an axis, and rotations about the origin

  4. VC2M7SP04design 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

Statistics
  1. VC2M7ST01acquire data sets for discrete and continuous numerical variables and calculate the range, median, mean and mode; make and justify decisions about which measures of central tendency provide useful insights into the nature of the distribution of data

  2. VC2M7ST02create different types of displays of numerical data, including dot plots and stem-and-leaf plots, using software where appropriate; describe and compare the distribution of data, commenting on the shape, centre and spread including outliers and determining the range, median, mean and mode

  3. VC2M7ST03plan and conduct statistical investigations for issues involving discrete and continuous numerical data, and data collected from primary and secondary sources; analyse and interpret distributions of data and report findings in terms of shape and summary statistics

Probability
  1. VC2M7P01identify the sample space for single-stage experiments; assign probabilities to the possible outcomes and predict relative frequencies for related experiments

  2. VC2M7P02conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with a large number of trials using digital tools; compare predicted with observed results, explaining the differences and the effect of sample size on the outcomes
