Specialist
Specialist mathematics involves the further study of statistics, and introduces topics of vectors, complex numbers, and matrices.
Methods
Methods mathematics focuses on the use of calculus! The study of calculus provides a basis for understanding rates of change, using functions and their derivatives and integrals in modelling physical processes.
Applications
Applications mathematics focuses on the use of maths to solve problems in contexts such as financial modelling, geometric and trigonometric analysis, graphical and network analysis, and growth and decay in sequences.
Essential
Essential mathematics focuses on using maths effectively, efficiently and critically to make informed decisions. It provides the framework for critical thinking and solving problems in real contexts in workplace, personal, further learning, and community settings.
Foundation
Foundation mathematics focuses on building the capacity, confidence, and disposition to use maths to meet the WACE numeracy standards.
