|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 credits externally assessed and 13 credits internally assessed. | ||||
| Costs: | ||||
| Approximately $50 for workbooks. A Casio fx9750 GIII (or fx 9860 GIII) graphics calculator is recommended. Graphics calculators can be hired from school for a cost of $30 for the year. Students wishing to hire a graphics calculator must fill out the form available at student services. | ||||
| Prerequisites: | ||||
| Students must have achieved Merit or higher in AS91944 – Explore Data, passed AS91945 – Mathematical Methods, and passed at least one of the external standards offered at Level 1: either AS91946 – Apply Statistical Information or AS91947 – Mathematical Reasoning. Students who meet these criteria are likely to be well-prepared, with a sound understanding of mathematical calculations, a solid foundation in algebra, and the ability to write statistical reports using precise mathematical language. Students who do not meet the stated entry requirements may still be considered following consultation with the Head of Faculty. Note: Students may opt to take BOTH the L2MAC (Mathematics with Calculus) and L2MAS (Mathematics with Statistics) courses. |

| Learning Strategies: | ||||
| Students will learn through utilisation of a range of different learning strategies that include: investigations and discovery learning, group work, directed teaching, practice tasks, regular formative and summative assessment. | ||||
| Main Areas of Study: | ||||
| This course will lead into level 3 mathematics and level 3 statistics and so will cover a range of topics from trigonometry to statistical inference. At least two of the standards on offer are written statistical reports. The external examination is in 'Probability' - having a graphics calculator will be a significant advantage for students in this examination. | ||||
