Progress of Subjects
The Mathematics subjects are organised to give every student the opportunity to work at their highest mathematical capability, whilst also giving them the opportunity to soundly understand one level of mathematics before proceeding to the next level.
Assessment
The assessments for Year 10 Mathematics consist of topic tests and investigations. An investigation requires students to plan, research, conduct and communicate the findings of a given problem or mathematical concept. Students may also be given informal assessments, such as quizzes, to gauge their understanding, however, these will not contribute to the student’s final mark. Year 10 Extension, Advanced and Mainstream will have an exam at the end of each semester.
Mathematics Advanced
This course provides students with a good grasp of algebraic concepts. It provides the necessary knowledge to undertake courses at Year 11 and 12 that lead to tertiary level courses requiring a good mathematical background. This course involves the use of a Computer and Algebraic Systems (CAS) calculator.
