Course Code:1GMB Length of course: Semester Credit points and TAS Status: 10 credit points
Recommend Background: A, B or C in Year 10 Advanced Mathematics or Extension Mathematics, A, B in Year 10 Standard Mathematics
Other Advice: Students who successfully complete Stage 1 General Mathematics A and B can study Stage 2 General Mathematics or Stage 2 Essential Mathematics in year 12.
Course outline: General Mathematics extends students’ mathematical skills in ways that apply to practical problem solving. Topics cover a diverse range of applications of mathematics, including personal financial management, measurement and trigonometry, the statistical investigation process, modelling using linear and non-linear functions, and discrete modelling using networks and matrices.
Successful completion General Mathematics at Stage 2 prepares students for entry to tertiary courses requiring a non-specialised background in mathematics.
Students who complete 10 credits of this subject with a C grade or better will meet the numeracy requirement of the SACE.
Topics Included: Students will study concepts covered in Applications of Trigonometry, Linear and Exponential Functions and their Graphs, Matrices and Networks
