MATHEMATICS -Â ADVANCED
YEAR 10
This study is designed for those students who consistently exhibit a high level of achievement in Year 9. This Mathematics course seeks to develop numerical and algebraic literacy and problem solving techniques in routine and non-routine contexts. Students are exposed to a variety of areas of Mathematics that range from concrete concepts of arithmetic to abstract concepts of algebra. Competent use of the TI-Nspire CX CAS calculator and documenting worked solutions in a clear and logical manner are essential skills practised through the completion of the course.

Students should be maintaining at least an 80% grade average in Year 9 Mathematics to be best prepared.
MATHEMATICS - GENERAL
YEAR 10
Students develop an appreciation of God’s wisdom and the order and patterns in His creation by learning about the mathematics inherent in the created world. Students apply mathematical techniques and processes involving arithmetic, lists and tables, diagrams and geometric shapes, algebraic expressions and equations, and graphs, with and without the use of technology. Students learn to apply mathematical knowledge and skills to solve real-life problems. Students are exposed to areas of mathematics that will equip them with the numeracy skills necessary for living and working in our society.
