Curriculum Overview

Pathways

The Course

The General Mathematics course provides for many combinations of student interests. It also is the precursor for study of VCE Further Mathematics at Units 3 and 4. The areas of study for General Mathematics Unit 1 and Unit 2 are ‘Algebra and structure’, ‘Arithmetic and number’, ‘Discrete mathematics’, ‘Geometry, measurement and trigonometry’, ‘Graphs of linear and non-linear relations’ and ‘Statistics’.

Unit 1 Topics

-Networks
-Matrices
-Financial Maths
-Series and Sequences

Unit 2 Topics

-Linear Equations
-Linear Graphs and Models
-Data Comparisons
-Relationships between two numerical variables

Learning and Assessment Activities

Students will complete various School Assessed Coursework (SACs) to assess their ability to meet the 3 Outcomes.

• Outcome 1: Define and explain key concepts while performing key mathematical procedures.
• Outcome 2: Be able to select and apply mathematical facts, concepts, models and techniques from the topics covered in the unit to investigate and analyse extended application problems in a range of contexts.
• Outcome 3: Select and use appropriate calculator calculations and dispays

An end of the Semester, there will be an Exam for both Unit 1 & 2.

These units lead to

This subject is designed to lead directly into VCE Further Mathematics Units 3 and 4.
