Studying Mathematics of Theme Parks will prepare you for a range of exciting and rewarding careers. This subject is for those students who enjoy mathematics, especially algebra and graphing and have achieved an ‘A’ grade in year 8 Mathematics and are studying Year 9 Extension Mathematics or 10 Mathematics for Methods. The course is designed to extend and help prepare you for VCE Mathematical Methods and VCE Specialist Mathematics. It will give you a solid foundation in the following areas of study, unit circle, trigonometric sine and cosine graphs and quadratic graphs. You will be challenged to design ‘An Angry Birds’ page and a Rollercoaster. To help with this an excursion to Luna Park is included. You will be introduced to the CAS calculator throughout the course. 

All Year 9 Mathematics Theme Park students will require a scientific calculator, which they should retain from Year 8. In addition, all students  will require a Texas Instruments TI-Nspire II CAS Calculator (cost approx $220).
