Year 10 Advanced Maths
While still working within the framework and aims of the Victorian Curriculum, Advanced Mathematics exposes students to more advanced problem solving and analytical tasks, and is an alternative to General Mathematics. The course is suited to students who have a strong appreciation and understanding of mathematics and would like to pursue advanced or multiple mathematics subjects in VCE.
