Year 11 Mathematics - Theory and Reasoning
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Isdale.
This course is intended for students who have a passion for, and are interested in further study in Mathematics as a pure science, leading to tertiary studies in Engineering, Computer Science or Biomedical Sciences. The learning will focus on the language and representation of theoretical Mathematics, and its applications. Focus will be on problem solving using numerical, measurement, algebraic, graphical and geometric reasoning skills and techniques. There will be one external Level 1 exam; AS91947 Demonstrate Mathematical Reasoning. If you are not performing consistently at curriculum level 5 in year 10, we recommend that you do not take this course, rather, your skills might be better suited to either 11MDXF or 11MTDF.
This is a full year course and counts as both of your Mathematics course selections.
Who would be interested in this course?
Students who are working at curriculum level 5 by the end of year 10 in Mathematics. It is intended for students who have a passion for, and are interested in further study in Mathematics as a pure science, leading to Level 2 Algebra and Calculus, then Level 3 Calculus and ultimately tertiary studies in Engineering, Computer Science or Biomedical Sciences.
