use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving ratios; formulate problems, interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying choices made about the representation

Elaborations

• AC9M7M06_E1 - using fractions to model and solve ratio problems involving comparison of quantities, and considering part-part and part-whole relations
• AC9M7M06_E2 - modelling and solving practical problems involving ratios of length, capacity or mass, such as in construction, design, food or textile production; for example, mixing concrete, the golden ratio in design, mixing a salad dressing
• AC9M7M06_E3 - modelling the situation using manipulatives, diagrams and/or mathematical discussion; for example, mixing primary colours in a variety of ratios to investigate how new colours are created and the strength of those colours
• AC9M7M06_E4 - investigating commercialised substances founded on First Nations Australians’ knowledges of substances including pharmaceuticals and toxins, understanding how ratios are used in their development

Achievement Standard Components

• ASMAT706 - They use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving rational numbers, percentages and ratios, in financial and other applied contexts, justifying choices of representation.
