L1 Maths with Algebra
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Smith.
This course builds upon the topics covered in Year 9 and 10, as well as introducing new ones. It places a greater emphasis on problem-solving and applying skills and knowledge in real-world situations. By exploring various mathematical and statistical concepts, it prepares students for future courses, such as Calculus, which heavily rely on algebra, while still addressing Statistics.
The course has two internal standards, covering topics such as Number, Measurement and Statistics, and one external standard, including Algebra and Geometry.
Completion of this course is a prerequisite for entry into L2 MACC, and it is highly recommended that students possess a graphical calculator.
