Course Overview

•    Extension of students’ mathematical skills in ways that apply to practical problem solving.
•    Topics cover a diverse range of applications of mathematics, including personal financial management, measurement and trigonometry, the statistical investigation process, modelling using linear and non-linear functions, and discrete modelling using networks and matrices.
 

Assessment

The following assessment types enable students to demonstrate their learning in Stage 1 General Mathematics.

Assessment Type 1:  Skills and Applications Tasks
Assessment Type 2:  Mathematical Investigation

For a 10 credit subject, students should provide evidence of their learning through four assessments. Each assessment type should have a weighting of at least 20%.
Students undertake:
•    at least two skills and applications tasks
•    one mathematical investigation.

For a 20 credit subject, students should provide evidence of their learning through eight assessments. Each assessment type should have a weighting of at least 20%.
