MATHEMATICS STANDARD (BDC) leading to MATHEMATICS STANDARD 1 HSC 2022 (BDC)
PRELIMINARY THEN HSC 2 UNIT Prelim CATEGORY B HSC and ATAR
2 UNIT HSC
Prerequisite
The Preliminary Mathematics Standard course has been constructed on the assumption that students have studied the content and achieved the outcomes of the Mathematics Years 7–10 Syllabus (2002) up to, and including, the content and outcomes of Stage 5.1.
Students may not study any other Stage 6 preliminary mathematics course in conjunction with the Preliminary Mathematics Standard course, or any other Stage 6 HSC mathematics course in conjunction with the HSC Mathematics Standard 1 course.
Course Description
The Mathematics Standard courses are focused on enabling students to use mathematics effectively, efficiently and critically to make informed decisions in their daily lives. They provide students with the opportunities to develop an understanding of, and competence in, further aspects of mathematics through a large variety of real-world applications for a range of concurrent HSC subjects.
Mathematics Standard 1 is designed to help students improve their numeracy by building their confidence and success in making mathematics meaningful. Numeracy is more than being able to operate with numbers. It requires mathematical knowledge and understanding, mathematical problem-solving skills and literacy skills, as well as positive attitudes. When students become numerate they are able to manage a situation or solve a problem in real contexts, such as everyday life, work or further learning. This course offers students the opportunity to prepare for post-school options of employment or further training.
For whom is this subject intended
The course is designed to meet the specific needs of students who are seeking an alternative to the Mathematics Standard 2 course in their HSC year and who intend to proceed from school directly into employment or vocational training.

MATHEMATICS STANDARD 2 (BDC)
PRELIMINARY THEN HSC 2 UNIT CATEGORY A HSC and ATAR
Prerequisite None
Course Description
The Mathematics Standard courses are focused on enabling students to use mathematics effectively, efficiently and critically to make informed decisions in their daily lives. They provide students with the opportunities to develop an understanding of, and competence in, further aspects of mathematics through a large variety of real-world applications for a range of concurrent HSC subjects.
Mathematics Standard 2 is designed for those students who want to extend their mathematical skills beyond Stage 5 but are not seeking the in-depth knowledge of higher mathematics that the study of calculus would provide. This course offers students the opportunity to prepare for a wide range of educational and employment aspirations, including continuing their studies at a tertiary level.
For whom is this subject intended
If you do not need to study Mathematics for your future career, but have a reasonable level of competence, then this course will support your study for the HSC while helping you to more fully understand our increasingly technological society. It provides an appropriate mathematical background for students who do not wish to pursue the formal study of mathematics at tertiary level, while giving a strong foundation for TAFE or university study in the areas of business, humanities, nursing and paramedical sciences. Students may not study any other Stage 6 Mathematics course in conjunction with Standard Mathematics. Recommended pre-requisite is Stage 5 Mathematics grade D or higher.
