Year 9 MATHEMATICS
MATHEMATICS
FULL YEAR COURSE
Assumed Knowledge
There are three levels of Mathematics classes. A small Essential (Modified) Mathematics class provides extra support for students with particular numeracy needs. All remaining students are offered either General or Advanced Mathematics based on achievement in Year 8. Students are able to move between classes based on teacher recommendations, although 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 extend students’ knowledge and understanding. Maths help at lunchtimes is available to all students.
