Year 11 Foundation Maths
(Units 1 & 2)

COURSE OUTLINE

Units 1 and 2 Focus on providing students with the mathematical knowledge, skills, understanding and dispositions to solve problems in real contexts for a range of workplace, personal, further learning, and community settings relevant to contemporary society. This course gives students a sound background to enable them to meet employment needs or further study in a non- science based tertiary study course. 

AREAS OF STUDY 

• Algebra, Number and Structure 

• Data Analysis, probability and statistics 

• Financial consumer mathematics 

• Space and Measurement 

OUTCOMES 

Outcome 1:

Students will be able to define and apply concepts to routine problems correctly.

Outcome 2:

Students will be able to apply concepts and techniques to non-routine problems that investigative, modelling or problem-solving techniques. Students will also be able to analyse and discuss their findings.

Outcome 3:

Students will be able to apply computational thinking and use appropriate technology effectively to solve problems.

ASSESSMENT 

One important aspect is Mathematical Investigations in each unit. 

The focus will be on 

• Formulation 

• Exploration 

• Communication 

Assessments include

•  Mathematical Investigations

•  Portfolio

•  Assignments

•   Tests 

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS/EQUIPMENT 

Students will need a scientific calculator. Students will also need a device for using Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.
