Content
Stage 5
- 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
- MA5-ARE-P-01
applies knowledge of the surface area of right pyramids and cones, spheres and composite solids to solve problems (Path: Stn, Adv)
Stn (Standard), Adv (Advanced) and Ext (Extension) have been used to suggest paths for related Stage 6 courses.
Identify the perpendicular heights and slant heights of right pyramids and right cones
Apply Pythagoras’ theorem to find the slant heights, base lengths and perpendicular heights of right pyramids and right cones
Solve problems involving the surface areas of right pyramids and compare methods of solution
Solve problems involving the surface area of solids in a variety of contexts including composite solids
