Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Angela Brett.
12 Maths
This course moves at your pace. It is mostly internally assessed, with one external exam. The course provides a pathway to 13MAT and 13MAS.
Course Components
- Solve trigonometry problems
- Learn about using network theory
- Further your understanding of statistics and probability
- Become familiar with sequences and series
- Take coordinate geometry to the next level
Course Overview
Term 1
A term focused on geometry skills - first coordinate geometry (AS 2.1) and then trigonometry (AS 2.4) specifically looking at non-right triangles.
Term 2
Complete AS 2.3 Sequences and Series - looking at algebra related to patterns of numbers.
Complete AS 2.9 Statistical Inference - looking at using box-and-whisker diagrams and statistics to make good guesses about populations.
Term 3
Begin work for the external AS 2.12 Probability exam
As time allows, begin AS 2.5 Networks - looking at mathematics related to systems of connected people or items.
Term 4
Complete Networks, prepare for external Probability exam.
