Year 11 Mathematics

Mathematics

In Year 11, all students must select either 11MAT or 11MATN. Your teacher will be able to direct you towards the best course of study for your Year 11 year. Your placement will be affirmed and communicated with you once Year 10 results have been reviewed by the department.

The 11MAT course aims to equip students with essential mathematical and algebraic skills, providing a strong foundation for continuing Mathematics at Level 2. It also focuses on enhancing logical thinking and problem-solving techniques. The curriculum builds upon the basic mathematical concepts and understandings introduced in years 9 and 10, and includes Algebra and Graphs, Geometry and Trigonometry and Statistics.

Course objectives are that students will learn to:

• apply mathematical skills, concepts, and understandings to familiar and unfamiliar problems arising in real and simulated situations
• demonstrate the ability to select and use appropriate mathematical techniques in problem solving
• demonstrate the ability to reason logically and systematically
• demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematical ideas

Success in this course is largely dependent on regular attendance at school, and commitment to the work required in class and homework. To be successful, it is important that work during lesson time is supplemented with independent study and revision.
