Year 10 Advanced Maths

Year 10 Advanced Mathematics builds upon and extends the Year 10 Core Maths program, with a particular focus on readying students for higher Mathematics studies in VCE. Learning in Mathematics builds on each student’s prior learning and experiences and provides the basis for a rich understanding in number, algebra, function, geometry and statistics. Students engage in a range of approaches to the learning and doing of mathematics that develop their understanding of and fluency with concepts, procedures and processes by making connections, reasoning, problem-solving and practice. Proficiency in mathematics enables students to respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations by employing mathematical strategies to make informed decisions and solve problems efficiently.
