1. Transform 2D points and shapes by: reflection in a given line,
rotation about a given point and translation. Know that shapes remain congruent
after these transformations.
2. Name and identify side, angle and symmetry and similarity properties
of special quadrilaterals and triangles. Know that if two 2D shapes are
congruent, corresponding sides and angles are equal. Identify and construct
special points and lines in triangles and use them to solve word problems.
3. Construct tables of values and plot the graphs of linear functions,
where y is given implicitly in terms of x, rearranging the equation into the
form y = mx + b; know the significance of m and find the gradient of a straight
line graph and recognise straight-line graphs parallel to the x- or y-axis.
4. Solve word problems involving whole numbers, percentages, decimals,
money or measures: choose operations and mental or written methods appropriate
to the numbers and context, including problems with more than one step.
5. Recognise and value the utility of mathematical or algebraic language
to represent and solve real-life situations.
6. Demonstrates responsibility related to the following items:
punctuality, coming to class on time, readiness for class, care of personal
materials as well as school materials, bringing necessary materials to class at
all times, proper organization and presentation of work, respect towards the
teacher and classmates, dedication to excellence, recognition of the importance
of dialogue and a sense of solidarity.
