Year 9
On-line
This page links through to some on-line resources for students. The great advantage of these style resources is that feedback is immediate.
The IXL site is good in that it makes questions progressively harder when students answer correctly, but unfortunately
it is written for the US curriculum, so sometimes isn't appropriate for NZ students.
Number I
nz.ixl.com
Number Theory: A.1, A.3–A.7
Integers: B.1, B.3
Operations with Integers: C.1–C.7

Number II
nz.ixl.com
Percents: J.1–J.11
Consumer Maths: K.4–K.5 (K.6–K.8 are extension)
Ratios and Proportion: H.1–H.9 (H.10–H.13 are extension)
www.thatquiz.org
Fractions – Simplify: tick all the possible conversion options
Fractions – Inequality: tick all the possible conversion options

Measurement
nz.ixl.com

www.thatquiz.org
Concepts – Time: all options
Concepts – Measure
Geometry – Geometry: not spheres and cones ("solve x" is extension only)
Algebra
nz.ixl.com
Variable expressions
Single-variable expressions: not U.6
Inequalities: extension only
www.thatquiz.org
Integers – Algebra: especially "Solve x", but "Solve y" and "Simplify" as well.
Patterns and Graphs (Algebra II)
nz.ixl.com
Number Sequences: R.2, R.5, R.7
Linear Functions: V.3–V.7 (V.8 and V.9 are extension)
www.thatquiz.org
Geometry – Points: only Cartesian, both plotting and identifying
Shapes and Angles (Geometry I)
nz.ixl.com
Geometry: P.4–P.8 (not hugely useful)
www.thatquiz.org
Geometry – Angles: tick all boxes
Transformations (Geometry II)
nz.ixl.com
Transformations: up to Q.7 (note: dilation = enlargement, and is extension only)
Statistics
While on-line resources are useful for testing statistics skills, the NZ curriculum increasingly tests meaning. Students need to not only know how to find a mean and median, but what they show about data.
nz.ixl.com
Statistics: all (but BB.3 and BB.6 are less useful)
Charts and Graphs: all except M.13 and M.15
www.thatquiz.org
Integers – Averages: all, but not very challenging
Concepts – Graphs: especially "Box Plot" and tick everything below the bar
Probability
nz.ixl.com
Probability: all, but most especially the first ones
www.thatquiz.org
Fractions – Probability: focused and not (get hard quite quickly)
