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
Complete AS 2.5 Networks - looking at mathematics related to systems of connected people or items.

Students will be given the option to start work for the external AS 2.12 Probability exam if they are willing to work independently.

Term 4
Time for students to make up missed assessments and continue preparing for the external if they have chosen to pursue this.
