MATHEMATICAL METHODS
STAGE 2

EYRE PENINSULA SCHOOLS

MATHEMATICAL METHODS

DELIVERY SCHOOL:  AREA SCHOOL

SUBJECT DESCRIPTION FOR STAGE 2:

Subject Description

Mathematical Methods develops an increasingly complex and sophisticated understanding of calculus and statistics. By using functions and their derivatives and integrals, and by mathematically modelling physical processes, students develop a deep understanding of the physical world through a sound knowledge of relationships involving rates of change.

​

The topics for Stage 2 Mathematical Methods are:

TOPIC 1

Further differentiation
& applications

TOPIC 2

Discrete random variables

TOPIC 3

Integral calculus

TOPIC 4

Logarithmic functions

TOPIC 5

Continuous random variables

TOPIC 6

Sampling & confidence intervals

ASSESSMENT

The following assessment types enable students to demonstrate their learning in Stage 2 Mathematical Methods.
School Assessment (70%)

  • Assessment Type 1: Skills and Applications Tasks (50%)

  • Assessment Type 2: Mathematical Investigation (20%)

External Assessment (30%)

  • Assessment Type 3: Examination (30%).

 

Students provide evidence of their learning through seven or eight assessments, including the external assessment component.

​

Students undertake:

  • five or six skills and applications tasks

  • one mathematical investigation

  • one examination.

​

LOCAL DELIVERY

Period of delivery: Full Year (20 units)

​

Intended Delivery Method:   

  • At least two weekly video conferences using Microsoft Teams

  • At least two 100 minute visits per semester to complete practical's and revision.

  • Flipped Learning delivered via Microsoft Teams

  • Text/workbook will be supplied by teacher.

 

Intervention Support  

  • If an assessment task does not meet the minimum C- level, or if a student does not meet a deadline, the teacher will communicate with the home school contact and/or parents/caregivers to negotiate support strategies.

 

Reporting

  • Students can monitor continuous progress through Microsoft Teams.

  • Reports will be provided in line with delivery school processes and timelines.

​

Prerequisites

  • It is recommended that the student has achieved a C or better in Stage 1 Mathematics

 

Technical Requirements

  • Laptop with working camera and Microsoft Teams installed.

  • Microphone/headphones.

  • A scientific or graphics calculator.

  • Electronic drawing device (touchscreen with pen or Wacom tablet) – limited supply of Wacom tablets available for loan if needed.

LOCAL DELIVERY

Eyre Peninsula schools with senior secondary enrolments have made a commitment to offer subjects including SACE and VET to students from other sites across the Eyre Peninsula. This is referred to as Local Delivery. Local Delivery provides students in all schools across the Eyre Peninsula access to a wider range of subjects than what is physically available at their own school.
