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. VC2M8N01recognise irrational numbers in applied contexts, including π and numbers that develop from the square root of positive real numbers that are not perfect squares

  2. VC2M8N02establish and apply the exponent laws with positive integer exponents and the zero exponent, using exponent notation with numbers

  3. VC2M8N03convert between fractions and terminating or recurring decimals, using digital tools as appropriate

  4. VC2M8N04use the 4 operations with integers and with rational numbers, choosing and using efficient mental and written strategies

  5. VC2M8N05solve problems involving the use of percentages, including percentage increases and decreases and percentage error

  6. VC2M8N06use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including financial contexts involving profit and loss

Algebra

  1. VC2M8A01create, expand, factorise, rearrange and simplify linear expressions, applying the associative, commutative, identity, distributive and inverse properties

  2. VC2M8A02graph linear relations on the Cartesian plane using digital tools; solve linear equations and one-variable inequalities using graphical and algebraic techniques

  3. VC2M8A03use mathematical modelling to solve applied problems involving linear relations, including financial contexts involving profit and loss

  4. VC2M8A04use algorithms and related testing procedures to identify and correct errors

  5. VC2M8A05experiment with linear functions and relations using digital tools, making and testing conjectures and generalising emerging patterns

Measurement

  1. VC2M8M01solve problems involving the area and perimeter of irregular and composite shapes using appropriate units

  2. VC2M8M02solve problems involving the volume and capacity of right prisms using appropriate units

  3. VC2M8M03solve problems involving the circumference and area of a circle using formulas and appropriate units

  4. VC2M8M04solve problems involving time and duration, including using 12- and 24-hour time across multiple time zones

  5. VC2M8M05recognise and use rates to solve problems involving the comparison of 2 related quantities of different units of measure

  6. VC2M8M06use Pythagoras' theorem to solve problems involving the side lengths of right-angled triangles

  7. VC2M8M07use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving ratios and rates, including distance-time problems for travel at a constant speed

Space

  1. VC2M8SP01identify the conditions for congruence and similarity of triangles and explain the conditions for other sets of common shapes

  2. VC2M8SP02establish properties of quadrilaterals using congruent triangles and angle properties, and solve related problems explaining reasoning

  3. VC2M8SP03describe in different ways the position and location of three-dimensional objects in 3 dimensions, including using a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system

  4. VC2M8SP04design and test algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that identify congruency or similarity of shapes

Statistics

  1. VC2M8ST01distinguish between a population and a sample, and investigate techniques for data collection including census, sampling, experiment and observation

  2. VC2M8ST02analyse and report on the distribution of data from primary and secondary sources using random and non-random sampling techniques

  3. VC2M8ST03compare variations in distributions and proportions obtained from random samples of the same size drawn from a population

  4. VC2M8ST04plan and conduct statistical investigations involving samples of a population; use ethical and fair methods to make inferences

    No practice for this one yet.

Probability

  1. VC2M8P01recognise that complementary events have a combined probability of one; use this relationship to calculate probabilities in applied contexts

  2. VC2M8P02determine all possible outcome combinations for 2 events, using two-way tables, tree diagrams and Venn diagrams

  3. VC2M8P03conduct repeated chance experiments and simulations, using digital tools to determine probabilities for compound events
