Subject outline
In this subject students are introduced to a spectrum of mathematics skills required for future learning in general university programs. Students will develop conceptual knowledge and procedural skills in a range of topics including arithmetical rules and operations, calculus, measurement and data, algebra, probability, graphs and statistical analysis. Students are expected to solve a variety of mathematical problems using appropriate strategies, methods and techniques and to apply mathematical concepts and knowledge to different real world situations. Assessment tasks are based on cumulative development of skills and knowledge and include project tasks as well as quizzes and two examinations. Feedback is provided to students at frequent and regular intervals throughout the semester.
