Year 8 – Data Analysis, Algebraic Techniques and Right-Angled Triangles.

Year 9 – Algebraic Techniques A (Core), Probability A (Core) & B (Path), Equations A (Core), Numbers of Any Magnitude (Core), Area & Surface Area A (Core) and Volume A (Core). These topics are listed according to students’ level of study.

The Senior students will be studying the following concepts:

Year 10 – Non-Linear Relationships A (Core) & B (Core), Data Analysis B (Core), Review of Algebraic Techniques A (Core), Algebraic Techniques B (Path) & C (Path), Area & Surface Area B (Path), Volume B (Path), Equations B (Path) & C (Path) and Probability B (Path). These topics are listed according to students’ level of study.

Year 11:

Mathematics Standard – Applications of Measurement - Practicalities of Measurement and Perimeter, Area and Volume, Linear Relationships and Time and Location.

Mathematics Advanced – Trigonometry, Introduction to Differentiation and Exponential and Logarithmic Functions.

Mathematics Extension 1 – Parametric Equations, Permutations and Combinations and The Binomial Theorem.

Year 12:

Mathematics Standard 1 – The Statistical Investigation Process for a Survey, Exploring and describing data arising from two quantitative variables and Networks.
