MATHEMATICS CORE SUBJECT

COURSE DESCRIPTION The Australian Curriculum based Mathematics course will provide students with essential mathematical skills and knowledge in the content strands of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.

The proficiency strands within the curriculum are Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving, and Reasoning. Content will be organised in such a way that unnecessary repetition is avoided, but will recognise that within mathematics, concepts or skills do need to be revisited, strengthened, and extended from year to year.

All Year 9 and 10 students will be working to the Australian Curriculum with the same content strands, content sub-strands and proficiency strands being applied. In Year 10, the subject will be offered as Foundation Level Mathematics and Extension Level Mathematics.

Students who are not moving into Mathematical Methods and/or Specialist Mathematics can choose Foundation Level Mathematics where all aspects of the Year 10 Australian Curriculum will be studied, aiming for understanding and competence at this level. Curriculum topics will be the foundation work for Essential Mathematics and General Mathematics.

Students who completed Year 9 Mathematics well and are looking to do further higher order mathematics in senior and beyond, are advised to study Extension Level Mathematic where all aspects of the Year 10A Australian

Curriculum will be studied. Curriculum topics will be Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics. foundation work for
