CAS Calculator REQUIRED ~$250
Maths Methods provide students of simple elementary functions of a single real variable, algebra, calculus, probability and statistics and their applications in a variety of practical and theoretical contexts.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
UNITS 1 - 4 In VCE Maths units are assessed differently to other VCE subjects, as Outcomes are assessed in all Areas of Study.
The Outcomes include: •
Outcome 1 assesses a student’s ability to use the skills learnt throughout topics. • Outcome 2 assesses a student’s abi lity to apply their mathematical knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios. • Outcome 3 assesses a student’s ability to use technology to demonstrate and support their understanding.
Areas of Study across Units 1-4 include: •
Functions, relations and graphs, Algebra, Calculus, Probability and Data Analysis and a Mathematical Investigation.
SATISFACTORY COMPLETION
Units 1 and 2: Satisfactory completion of each Outcome across all Areas of Study
Units 3 and 4: Satisfactory demonstration of each Outcome. 3 application, modelling or problem solving tasks worth 40% of total Unit marks, and 2 external VCAA examinations worth 60% of total Unit marks.
ENTRY
Satisfactory completion of Year 10 Maths, with a 70% average across all units.
