Mathematics: Specialist Course
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: Specialist Course will be conducted in 2010.
Summary
The Mathematics—Specialist course provides a solid foundation for the many students who will continue their study of mathematics beyond the compulsory years of schooling. It has an emphasis on mathematical reasoning, modelling, recursion and the use of technology, in keeping with recent trends in mathematics education, and in response to the growing impact of computers and the internet. Students engage in posing and solving problems within mathematics itself, and thus appreciate mathematics as a creative endeavour.
This course is for university entry to specialist courses such as engineering, physical sciences and mathematics and is usually studied in conjunction with the Mathematics course.
