Prior LearningSatisfactory performance in year 10 Mathematics, particularly in Algebra.
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:
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.
