Year 09 5MAT2 – General Mathematics (compulsory)

Available for study in: Compulsory in Year 9 Semester 2.

Main areas of study: This course covers the Measurement, Statistics and Probability strands of the Mathematics and Statistics curriculum.

In this course you will learn: 
Students will explore principles in order to gain understanding of:

• Number: Proportional Reasoning (including financial theory)
• Probability and Statistics
• Measurement

Methods of assessment: 
Students will be assessed via two reported skills assessments and various checkpoints during the semester

This course leads to:
Compulsory Year 10  Mathematics  courses ( 5AMAT1 and 5AMAT2). Developing an understanding  of  Proportional Reasoning, Measurement and Probability and Statistics are essential for numerous careers. The processes explored in Proportional Reasoning, Measurement are not only practically useful in many trades , but also enable students to develop a logical set of reasoning which can be applied in high level mathematics.
