Document outlining 2024/2025 Mathematics plan.

Note that levels 4 and 5 are intended to be two year programmes.

Description

5MAT with Sam will cover Algebra in Term Three. 

We will begin with patterns, relationships, and formulas. As the course goes on the content will get more abstract. The aim is to cover simplifying, factorising, expanding and solving both linear and quadratic functions. 

The level of the content aligns with preparation for the Numeracy-Co-Requisite, though may push beyond this for students looking to prepare for 6MAT.

It requires the foundational understanding of Algebra concepts developed in 4MAT, and builds on the number and measurement skills developed in 5MAT during Term One. 

This course will be delivered in a structured way, with a focus on the core skills. However there will be opportunities for students to work at a flexible pace, and apply their learning to real life contexts.
