Content
Stage 4
- MAO-WM-01
develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
- MA4-VOL-C-01
applies knowledge of volume and capacity to solve problems involving right prisms and cylinders
Represent prisms from different views in 2 dimensions, including top, side, front and back views
Describe and illustrate solids formed from prism combinations from different views in 2 dimensions, including top, side, front and back views
Identify and illustrate the cross-sections of different prisms
Examine the idea that prisms have a uniform cross-section that is equal to the base area
Determine if a particular solid has a uniform cross-section
Apply the formula for the volume of a prism to prisms with uniform cross-sections to solve problems
Recognise that 1000 L is equal to 1 kilolitre (kL) and use the abbreviation
Recognise that 1000 kL is equal to 1 megalitre (ML) and use the abbreviation
Choose an appropriate unit to measure the volume or capacity of different objects and justify the choice
Solve practical problems involving the volume and capacity of right prisms and cylinders
