use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving proportion and scaling of objects; formulate problems and interpret solutions in terms of the situation; evaluate and modify models as necessary, and report assumptions, methods and findings

Elaborations

• AC9M10M05_E1 - using plans and elevation drawings to investigate making changes to building designs, employing appropriate scales and converting to actual measurements within the context to make decisions about changes
• AC9M10M05_E2 - analysing and applying scale and ratios in situations such as production prototypes and 3D printing; for example, using a 3D printer to produce scaled versions of actual objects
• AC9M10M05_E3 - estimating the scale of an object, such as a toy car, by measuring a linear dimension and using a typical car dimension to work out the scale factor
• AC9M10M05_E4 - investigating compliance with building codes and standards in design and construction, such as for escalators in shopping centres

Achievement Standard Components
