Unit 1 and Unit 2:
These units are designed as preparation for Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4.
Areas of study
- Functions and graphs
- Algebra
- Calculus
- Probability and statistics
There are three outcomes:
- Define/explain key concepts as specified in the areas of study and apply a range of related mathematical routines and procedures.
- Apply mathematical processes in non-routine contexts, including situations requiring problem-solving, modelling or investigative techniques or approaches, and analyse and discuss these applications of mathematics.
- Use technology to develop mathematical ideas, produce results and carry out analysis in situations requiring problem-solving or investigative approaches.
Unit 3 and Unit 4:
These units follow on directly from Mathematical Methods Unit 1 & Unit 2 and in particular, will assume knowledge of material studied in Unit 2. It may be taken in conjunction with either General Mathematics Unit 3 & Unit 4 or Specialist Mathematics Unit 3 & Unit 4. It is intended to provide suitable foundation for further studies in courses such as Science, Economics, Medicine and Engineering.
Areas of study
- Functions and graphs
- Algebra
- Calculus
- Probability and statistics
There are three outcomes:
- To define/explain key terms and concepts as specified in the content from the areas of study, and to apply a range of related mathematical routines and procedures.
- Apply mathematical processes in non-routine contexts and to analyse and discuss these applications of mathematics.
- Select and appropriately use technology to develop mathematical ideas, produce results and carry out analysis in situations requiring problem-solving, modelling or investigative techniques or approaches.
