COURSE CONTENT

Theory

Students are required to study Mathematics up until the end of Year 10. Maths runs throughout the whole year. 

In this subject, the topics students will study are;

• Algebra 

• Statistics

• Linear Relationships 

• Probability

• Geometry 

• Measurement

• Trigonometry 

• Financial Maths

Practical

Much of the course is theoretical, but some scope for practical activities is possible, particularly in the topics of Measurement, Trigonometry and Probability.

PATHWAYS INTO VCE OR VCE VM

Students can go from Year 10 from Mathematics into VCAL Numeracy or VCE General Mathematics 1&2 and 3&4. Students who want General Maths in year 11 will need a CAS calculator in year 10.

Students selecting this course only will not be able to select VCE Mathematical Methods or VCE Specialist Mathematics.

Students wishing to access these subjects must complete Advanced Maths in Year 10 as this provides them with the skills they will need, particularly in Algebra.

Note: This is a year-long study
