Year 12 Specialist Mathematics Excursion

Mathematics can be fun and is linked to many real-world situations. In Year 12 Specialist Maths, the students are preparing for their Unit 3 SAC. In VCE Mathematics, assessment is required to include links to real-world examples. For Year 12 Specialist Mathematics this year, we have selected the real-world example scenario to be indoor sky-diving. To assist students to understand this scenario and to study the mathematics involved, students in this class attended a full-day excursion to iFly where they were able to feel the forces involved and understand the different positions that a body can take while engaged in sky-diving.
