Year 10 MATHEMATICS
MATHEMATICS
FULL YEAR COURSE
Assumed Knowledge
There are three levels of Maths classes.
A small Foundation Mathematics class provides extra support to students with particular numeracy needs, and in Semester 2 this class is Stage 1 Essential Mathematics (SACE accredited) to assist students to meet the minimum SACE requirements of passing a semester of Mathematics. However, this class does not lead to further Mathematics study.
All remaining students are offered either Standard or Advanced Mathematics based on achievement. The Advanced course at Year 10 is only available to those students who studied in the Advanced class in Semester 2 in Year 9.
Course Description
The proficiency strands understanding, fluency, problem-solving and reasoning are an integral part of mathematics content across the three content strands. The proficiencies reinforce the significance of working mathematically within the content and describe how the content is explored or developed. Teachers use a variety of assessment approaches to accurately reflect student understanding.

Assessment Components
Additional Information
Calculators and appropriate IT will be used throughout the year. A Casio Graphics Calculator will be required for the Year 10 ADVANCED class. Mathematical competitions run throughout the year extend students’ knowledge and understanding. Maths help at lunchtimes is available to all students
