Year 10 Maths learning and practice questions

This page focuses only on Year 10 maths so the public ACARA-V9 strand names and AC-coded curriculum references can be read without the senior pathway columns beside them.

Years 11 and 12 now sit on a separate Year 11-12 Maths Practice page so senior secondary pathways, units, and unit topics can be scanned on their own.

Maths Topics and Subtopics

Year 10

Topic	Year 10
Algebra	1. Expand, factorise and simplify expressions, and solve equations using exponent laws and the distributive law (AC9M10A01) • Stay inside Year 10 algebraic manipulation, factorisation, and equation-solving forms.• Internal legacy aliases still cover narrower buckets such as index laws and quadratic factorisation. 2. Solve linear inequalities and pairs of simultaneous linear equations in 2 variables (AC9M10A02) text graph • Use linear inequalities and simultaneous-equation reasoning without drifting into senior-only methods.• When simultaneous equations are used, keep one exact unique solution. 3. Solve problems involving exponential relations and equations (AC9M10A03) text graph • Use repeated multiplication, growth factors, and exponential equation reasoning suitable for Year 10.• Prefer clean finite contexts over senior logarithmic techniques. 4. Solve problems involving growth and decay in financial and other applied contexts (AC9M10A04) • Use growth, decay, and finance contexts such as repeated percentage change and compound growth.• Internal legacy aliases still cover older simple-interest, compound-interest, and exponential-growth buckets. 5. Use functions and relations to model and solve problems, including by using digital tools (AC9M10A05) text graph • Use graph features, tables, rules, and interpretation to model and solve Year 10 problems.• Internal legacy aliases still cover linear, quadratic, reciprocal, and graph-interpretation buckets.
Measurement	1. Solve problems involving surface area and volume of composite objects (AC9M10M01) text diagram • Always use the supported surface-solid renderer contract with explicit dimensions and units.• Diagram JSON must include labels.solidKind and every dimension label required by that supported solid kind.• Internal legacy aliases still cover surface area, volume of prisms, and composite solids. 2. Use logarithmic scales in applied measurement contexts (AC9M10M02) • Use interpretation of logarithmic scales in practical settings without introducing senior logarithm algebra.• Keep the focus on reading, comparing, and applying scales. 3. Solve problems involving Pythagoras' theorem and right-triangle trigonometry, including bearings and angles of elevation and depression (AC9M10M03) text diagram • Use right-triangle diagrams and unambiguous directional wording when spatial reasoning is required.• Internal legacy aliases still cover Pythagoras, trigonometric ratios, bearings, and angles of elevation. 4. Investigate and explain the effect of measurement error on calculations (AC9M10M04) • Use explanation-rich questions about how measurement error affects calculated results.• Prefer practical contexts over abstract uncertainty language. 5. Use proportion, similarity and scaling to model and solve problems (AC9M10M05) text diagram • Use scale factors, proportional reasoning, and modelling with clearly stated correspondences.• Internal legacy aliases still cover similar-triangles tasks.
Number	1. Use exact values and decimal approximations of real numbers in repeated calculations, and compare the effect of each choice on the result (AC9M10N01) • Compare exact forms with rounded or decimal approximations in repeated calculations.• Keep the focus on the effect of approximation rather than routine arithmetic alone.
Probability	1. Use the language of conditional probability to describe and interpret chance (AC9M10P01) • Use the language and interpretation of conditional probability without drifting into senior combinatorics.• Internal legacy aliases still cover probability-rules and two-step-probability checks. 2. Conduct repeated experiments and simulations to estimate and interpret conditional probability (AC9M10P02) • Use repeated-trial, experimental-probability, and simulation interpretation tasks.• Keep the event structure explicit so one answer is objectively best.
Space	1. Use deductive reasoning to prove results involving plane shapes (AC9M10SP01) text diagram • Always include a clear plane-shape diagram; do not use text-only geometry for this subtopic.• Use proof-aware geometric reasoning in concise single-choice form.• Keep the reasoning inside Year 10 plane-shape results. 2. Represent and solve problems using networks, network diagrams and connectedness (AC9M10SP02) text graph • Use introductory network and connectedness reasoning in text-first or interpretation-first form.• Do not invent unsupported bespoke network renderers. 3. Use algorithms and digital tools to solve spatial problems (AC9M10SP03) • Use algorithmic or tool-supported spatial reasoning in clear Year 10 contexts.• Keep the item answerable without requiring the platform to emulate external software.
Statistics	1. Critique claims and identify bias in statistical reports (AC9M10ST01) • Use critique and evidence-evaluation tasks rather than raw computation alone.• Internal legacy aliases still cover interpreting-statistics moderation rules where helpful. 2. Compare continuous distributions using summary statistics and displays such as box plots (AC9M10ST02) • Use comparison of distributions and statistical interpretation.• Avoid unsupported renderer claims when the current UI cannot draw a required display directly. 3. Interpret scatter plots and describe association between 2 numerical variables (AC9M10ST03) text graph • Use supported scatter-plot payloads when visual interpretation is central.• Internal legacy aliases still cover data-representation moderation rules. 4. Interpret 2-way tables and describe relationships between categorical variables (AC9M10ST04) • Use categorical relationships and table interpretation without inventing unsupported table schemas.• Keep one clearly supported statistical conclusion. 5. Plan and conduct bivariate statistical investigations, and interpret the results (AC9M10ST05) text graph • Use investigation design, interpretation, and evidence-based conclusions in Year 10 settings.• Internal legacy aliases still cover data-representation and interpreting-statistics moderation rules.
