Mathematics Course Combinations
For university admission, unacceptable combination rules will apply to Mathematics ATAR courses:
- Mathematics Applications ATAR and Mathematics Specialist ATAR are an unacceptable combination.
- Only one scaled score from the unacceptable combination can be used in the calculation of the ATAR.
- Scores from Mathematics Methods ATAR and Mathematics Specialist ATAR still benefit from the TEA 10% bonus point.
Mathematics Foundations (General)
PLEASE NOTE: This Course will only be offered on a strictly needs basis and may not be offered in 2023 Students who do not achieve Band 8 in numeracy in Year 9 NAPLAN/Year 10 OLNA may be required to study this subject.
Mathematics Foundation is a General course designed for students who have not demonstrated the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) standard of numeracy. These standards are based on Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF), which outlines the skills required for individuals to meet the demands of everyday life and work in a knowledge-based economy.
Year 12 Mathematics Foundations General
Course Description
The Year 12 syllabus is divided into two units, which are delivered as a pair.
Unit 3 - topics
Percentages and the link to fractions and decimals and the solving of problems relating to the four operations using whole numbers, fractions and decimals. Location, time and temperature, and shape and its relationship to design, are also covered in this unit.
Unit 4 - topics
Rates and ratios, and the connection between statistics and probability. The collection of mathematical concepts and thinking processes encountered in this and previous units culminates in the solving of comprehensive real life problems encountered in personal, workplace and community contexts.
