/ Content
 investigating and determining the volumes and surface areas of composite solids by
Elaborations
considering the individual solids from which they are constructed
Logical Proofs
 applying an understanding of relationships to deduce properties of geometric figures (for
example the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)
 distinguishing between a practical demonstration and a proof (for example demonstrating
triangles are congruent by placing them on top of each other, as compared to using
congruence tests to establish that triangles are congruent)
 performing a sequence of steps to determine an unknown angle giving a justification in
moving from one step to the next.
 communicating a proof using a sequence of logically connected statements
Pythagoras and Trigonometry
 applying Pythagoras' Theorem and trigonometry to problems in surveying and design
