AccelErated Maths & Maths Methods

This is a one semester unit designed for high performing year 10 students who were not quite ready to accelerate straight into Unit 1 Mathematical Methods.

Students completing this course will solidify their year 10 mathematics skills while preparing them to join the Unit 2 Mathematical Methods course in Semester 2.

The areas of study are ‘Functions and graphs’, ‘Algebra’, ‘Calculus’ and ‘Probability and statistics’.

Mathematical Methods is a VCE subject that can be taken during Year 10 for students who qualify.

Maths Methods Units 1 and 2 provide an introductory study of simple elementary functions of a single real variable, algebra, calculus, probability and statistics and their applications in a variety of practical and theoretical contexts. The Units are designed as preparation for Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4 and contain assumed knowledge and skills for these units.

The focus of Unit 1 is the study of simple algebraic functions. The focus of unit 2 is the study of simple transcendental functions and the calculus of simple algebraic functions.
