For students who have studied Mathematical Concepts in Year 10
Entry Point – For students who have studied Mathematical Concepts in Year 10
Study in Mathematical Methods provides a foundation for students considering the option of studying Mathematics and Science subjects at Stage 2.
Students develop a deep understanding of the physical world through a sound knowledge of relationships involving rates of change. They use statistics to analyse phenomena involving uncertainty and variation. Mathematical Methods provides the foundation for further study in mathematics, economics, science, computer sciences, health and social sciences. When studied with Specialist Mathematics, this subject can be a pathway to engineering, space science and laser Physics.
Students may choose to study either Methods A, B and C or Methods A, B, C & Specialist Mathematics.
At Stage 1 assessment is school based. Teachers make decisions about the extent and quality of the evidence of student learning with reference to the Performance Standards.
Students have the opportunity to demonstrate evidence of their learning in Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics through the following assessment types.
Students must complete all three units of Mathematical Methods at Year 11 to be prepared for Stage 2 Mathematical Methods. Students must complete all three units of Mathematical Methods at Year 11 plus the Year 11 Specialist Mathematics course to be prepared for Stage 2 Specialist Mathematics. The study of Mathematical Methods also provides a solid foundation for the study of General Mathematics at Stage 2.
