Course description
Mathematics is used to identify, describe and apply patterns and relationships. It provides a precise means of communication and is a powerful tool for solving problems both within and beyond mathematics. In addition to its practical applications, the study of mathematics is a valuable pursuit in its own right, providing opportunities for originality, challenge and leisure.
Stage 4 - Year 7 and 8
Our Year 7 classes are developed by the analysis of Primary School results with the top class graded and mixed ability students in the remaining classes. Year 8 classes are graded.
Stage 5 - Year 9 and 10
There are three sub-stages of Stage 5, Stages 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3:
- Stage 5.1 is designed to assist in meeting the needs of students who are continuing to work towards the achievement of Stage 4 outcomes when they enter Year 9.
- Stage 5.2 builds on the content of Stage 5.1 and is designed to assist in meeting the needs of students who have achieved Stage 4 outcomes by the end of Year 8. Achieving 5.2 Outcomes is recommended as minimum preparation for Stage 6 Mathematics Standard and mathematical understandings that are applicable to a range of VET courses.
- Stage 5.3 builds on the content of Stage 5.2 and is designed to assist in meeting the needs of students who have achieved Stage 4 outcomes before the end of Year 8. Achieving 5.3 Outcomes is recommended as minimum preparation for Stage 6 Mathematics Advanced.
