    Unit 03 - Testing Conjectures KO

    Uploaded by

    panida Sukkasem
    This unit focuses on using factors, multiples, and primes to reason about mathematical statements as always, sometimes, or never true. Students will learn to make and test conjectures using algebra and the 100 grid, and be able to expand binomial expressions and work with quadratic polynomials. The goals are for students to use numerical and algebraic verification to prove reasoning and solve problems involving relationships between numbers.

    Year 9 – Reasoning with algebra…

    @whisto_maths Testing conjectures


    What do I need to be able Keywords
    to do? Multiples: found by multiplying any number by positive integers
    By the end of this unit you should be able to: Factor: integers that multiply together to get another number.
    • Use factors, multiples and primes Prime: an integer with only 2 factors.
    • Reason True or False HCF: highest common factor (biggest factor two or more numbers share)
    • Reason Always, sometimes never true LCM: lowest common multiple (the first time the times table of two or more numbers match)
    • Show that reasoning
    Verify: the process of making sure a solution is correct
    • Make conjectures about number
    • Expand binomials Proof: logical mathematical arguments used to show the truth of a statement
    • Make conjectures with algebra Binomial: a polynomial with two terms
    • Explore the 100 grid Quadratic: a polynomial with four terms (often simplified to three terms)
