Edgewater College
Year 9 Mathematics
Option Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss R. Prasad.
Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space, and time.
Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data.
These two disciplines are related but different ways of thinking and of solving problems. Both equip students with effective means for investigating, interpreting, explaining, and making sense of the world in which they live.
This course is designed to develop students’ mathematical reasoning through algebra, geometry, number and measurement skills. Student's will also develop insight on making good statistical estimates and developing probability skills.
The course also offers an opportunity of a course endorsement. The course offers Statistics standards and Algebra based standards which prepares students to either choose a pathway towards Calculus and or Statistics.
In Year 11 Mathematics students will look to University Entrance Numeracy (10 Credits at Level 1)
