  • modelling a series of contextual problems, deciding whether an exact answer or an approximate calculation is appropriate; explaining their reasoning in relation to the context and the numbers involved
  • modelling financial situations such as creating financial plans; for example, creating a budget for a class fundraising event, using a spreadsheet to tabulate data and perform calculations
  • investigating how mathematical models involving combinations of operations can be used to represent songs, stories and/or dances of First Nations Australians
