Stage 1 General Mathematics
Subject Description
General Mathematics extends students’ mathematical skills in ways that apply to practical problem-solving.
A problem-based approach is integral to the development of mathematical models and the associated key concepts in the topics.
These topics cover a diverse range of applications of mathematics, including personal financial management, the statistical investigation process, modelling using linear and non-linear functions, and discrete modelling using networks and matrices.
An optional online General Mathematics Revision Guide may be purchased for $30.00
Students will undertake the following topics:
- Modelling with linear relationships
- Modelling with matrices
- Financial models
- Discrete models
- Statistical models
Assessment components include five Skills and Application Tasks (tests) (40%), two mathematical investigations (30%) and one External Examination that covers the last three topics (30%).
