Mathematics

Two Mathematics courses are offered to meet the differing needs of Year 10 students - Standard and Advanced Mathematics. Students will be placed into one of these Mathematics courses following recommendations and guidance from the Mathematics Domain Leader and the Year 9 Mathematics Teachers.

Standard Mathematics

This course is aimed at the majority of students and delivers content from Level 10 of the Victorian Curriculum. The topics studied cover the content strands of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. The curriculum focuses on developing mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills. To meet the course requirements each semester, students need to complete a combination of skill development activities, investigation work, topic tests and homework tasks, and to demonstrate an adequate understanding of all topics.

Advanced Mathematics

This course is for students who require higher-level content to enrich their mathematical study whilst completing the common Year 10 content. The course delivers content from Levels 10 and 10A of the Victorian Curriculum. The topics studied cover the content strands of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. The curriculum focuses on developing increasingly sophisticated and refined mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills.

Assessment

To meet the course requirements each semester, students need to complete a combination of skill development activities, investigation work, topic tests and homework tasks, and to demonstrate an adequate understanding of all topics.
