Bridging Maths is an elective unit will be purely dedicated to students who need that extra transition support from Junior to Senior maths across all the General and Advanced Maths Streams.  This is a co-requiste unit for those who receive a 'Conditional Recommendation' for General or Advanced Maths in Year 10. It is also optional for those who have been 'Recommended' for General Maths but feel they require some extra support during the transition to Year 10.  In this course, we will cover a range of fundamental mathematical skills including the manipulation and conversion of fractions, decimals, and percentages; the application of the order of operations; techniques for rounding and specifying decimal places; the use of scientific notation; understanding and applying index laws and distributive laws; and the analysis and interpretation of linear and non-linear graphs. 

1. Confidently and competently use mathematical concepts and skills in the areas of Number, Algebra and Measurement

2. Apply mathematical procedures to solve practical problems in familiar and new contexts, communicating the results in the areas of Number, Algebra and Measurement

3. Select and use technology to explore and apply mathematics in a range of practical contexts across the areas of Number, Algebra and Measurement

• Topic Tests

• Application Task

• Skills exercises

• Examination

It would be expected that students use technology in a range of assessment tasks outlined above

• 1 Exercise Book

• Scientific Calculator – Abacus SX II Matrix

• Optional: TI Nspire CAS Calculator

• Students who receive 'Conditional Recommendation' for 10 General or 10 Advanced Maths must choose Bridging Maths

• Students who would like a extra support at the start of Senior School maths and have received 'Recommended' for 10 General Maths

**Please note: This elective is not for those 'Recommended' for 10 Foundation Maths as that course is already differentiated to support students' particular needs in mathematics.
