Summary

This unit on mensuration begins with an introduction to vectors, their key properties and uses. With an emphasis on developing mastery, students learn how to carry out simple arithmetic processes with vectors and understand the geometric interpretations of these. Circle facts from Unit 15 are built on, developing skills for calculations involving arcs and sectors of circles, and dealing with composite circle shapes and solving problems in relation to these. The unit moves on to look at 3D shapes; specially finding the surface area and volume of 3D shapes. Formulae are developed and presented and students’ skills in applying these formulae to find missing values are supported. Contextualised problems including the use of reasoning skills are developed.
