Year 11 Mathematics Advanced

TERM 3, 2026

Students will begin Term 3 with Trigonometric Radians and Measure of Angles followed by Trigonometric Identities and Equations, Exponentials and Logs, and Probability and Data.

Continuing with Trigonometric Radians and Measure of Angles, students will investigate radian measure, adapting their previous Trigonometric skills. The introduction of radians will also provide an alternate method for calculating the length of an arc and the area of a sector.

In Trigonometric Identities and Equations, extend their study of trigonometry to include the three reciprocal ratios. Students will investigate trigonometric identities to solve problems, simplify expressions and prove further trigonometric identities. Solving trig equations will be covered using a domain in both degrees and radians.

Next, Exponentials and Logs will develop their understanding of solving practical problems involving rates of change in contexts such as exponential growth and decay.

Lastly, in Probability and Data, students will look at sets and set notation, calculating probability, including the application of conditional probability. The data component will revisit discrete and random variables before revising the various ways to display data.

During Term 3, students will complete Task 3, the Preliminary Examination which will be worth 40% of their overall Preliminary result.
