11 Mathematics Numeracy
11MNU
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge:
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.
