reviews the concepts of rate and percentage change in the context of
earning and managing money and includes the use of spread sheets.

Algebra and matrices continues the study of algebra and introduces
the topic of matrices. The emphasis of this topic is the symbolic
representation and manipulation of information from real-life
contexts using algebra and matrices. Shape and measurement builds
the knowledge and skills of students with the concept of similarity
and associated calculations involving simple geometric shapes. The
emphasis in this topic is on applying these skills in a range of practical
contexts, including those involving three-dimensional shapes.
