Mathematics
Professional development
Term 4 2009 professional development events are available for this course here.
Implementation
2009 is the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for Mathematics will be conducted in 2010.
Summary
The Mathematics course has been created to offer all senior secondary students the opportunity to advance their mathematical skills, to build and use mathematical models, to solve problems, to learn how to conjecture and to reason logically, and to gain an appreciation of the elegance, beauty and creative nature of mathematics. Students use numbers and symbols to represent many situations in the world around them. They examine how mathematical methods associated with number, algebra and calculus allow for precise, strong conclusions to be reached, providing a form of argument not available to other disciplines.
The Mathematics course allows for multiple entry points to accommodate the diversity of students' mathematics development at the point of entry into Senior school as well as the diversity of post school destinations.
Students can choose units based on their particular need: To develop their general mathematical skills for further training or employment, to enable university entry where further mathematics may not be essential, to prepare them for university courses where further mathematics studies is required or for preparation for higher level training in technical areas.
