Year 13 (2025) students are required to attend Subject Confirmation on Thursday 23 January to finalise their timetable.


Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms M. Sirimanne, Mr J. Eley.

Students will be assigned a Year 11 Mathematics course based on their experience and achievement in Years 9 and 10. 

Those students who are working towards gaining Numeracy will be placed in an 11MNU class, those students who have gained Numeracy in Year 9 or 10 will be in an 11MAT class.

The two courses are outlined below:

11MNU (Mathematics with Numeracy)

11MAT (Mathematics)

Number and Measurement

  • Financial numeracy.
  • Ratio and proportion, fractions, decimals and percentages, rounding, standard form.
  • Area and volume of prisms, pyramids, cones and spheres.

Number and Measurement

  • Financial numeracy.
  • Ratio and proportion, fractions, decimals and percentages, rounding, standard form.
  • Area and volume of prisms, pyramids, cones and spheres.

Tables, Equations and Graphs

  • Linear patterns and graphs.

Tables, Equations and Graphs

  • Linear, quadratic and exponential patterns and graphs.

Numeracy preparation, learners learn to:

  • Formulate mathematical and/or statistical approaches to solving problems in a range of meaningful situations. 
  • Use mathematics and statistics to meet the numeracy demands of a range of meaningful situations.
  • Explain the reasonableness of mathematical and statistical responses to situations.

Geometry

  • Pythagoras’ theorem.
  • Trigonometric relationships in right-angled triangles.
  • Similar triangles and angle properties of parallel lines, polygons and circles.

Statistics and Probability

  • Multivariate (Box and Whisker).
  • Bivariate (Scatter graphs).
  • Probability concepts, tree diagrams and two-way tables.

Algebra

  • Simplifying, expanding and factorising expressions. 
  • Solving linear, quadratic and exponential equations and inequations.

Statistics and Probability

  • Multivariate (Box and Whisker).
  • Bivariate (Scatter graphs).
  • Probability concepts, tree diagrams and two-way tables.

Students will be expected to

  • Demonstrate mathematical skills, concepts and understanding in the number and algebra, geometry and measurement, and statistics curriculum strands.
  • Apply these skills, concepts and understandings to familiar and unfamiliar problems arising in real and simulated situations.
  • Demonstrate the ability to select and use appropriate mathematical techniques in problem solving.
  • Demonstrate the ability to reason logically and systematically.
  • Demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematical ideas.
