Year 10 MATHEMATICS
MATHEMATICS
FULL YEAR COURSE
Assumed Knowledge
There are three levels of Maths classes.
A small Essential (lModified) Mathematics class provides extra support to students with particular numeracy needs, and in Semester 2 this class is Stage 1 (SACE accredited) to assist students to meet the minimum SACE requirements of passing a semester of Mathematics (see Essential Mathematics). However, this class does not lead to further Mathematics study.
All remaining students are offered either General or Advanced Mathematicss based on achievement and Year 11 aspirations. Students wishing to study Advanced Mathematics in Senior School must study Advanced Mathematics at Years 8, 9 and 10.
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. Mathematical competitions run throughout the year to extend students’ knowledge and understanding. Maths Help at lunchtimes is available to all students.
