11–12Mathematics Standard 11–12 Syllabus (2024)

Mathematics Standard 11–12 focuses on enabling students to use mathematics to make informed decisions in their daily lives. Students develop understanding and competence through real-world applications of mathematics.

Mathematics Standard 1 provides opportunities for students to build confidence and make mathematics meaningful. Students develop their mathematical knowledge and understanding through applying and modelling to prepare for post-school employment or further training.

Mathematics Standard 2 provides a pathway for students to extend their mathematical thinking by examining more complex content, and through applications and modelling.

Through the study of Mathematics Standard 1, students:

• develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in Working mathematically and in communicating concisely and systematically
• consider various applications of mathematics in a broad range of contemporary contexts through mathematical modelling and use these models to solve problems related to their present and future needs
• gain an appropriate mathematical background for post-school employment or further training.

Through the study of Mathematics Standard 2, students:

• develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in Working mathematically and in communicating concisely and systematically
• consider various applications of mathematics in a broad range of contemporary contexts through mathematical modelling and use these models to solve problems related to their present and future needs
• develop an understanding of, and skills in, further aspects of mathematics for concurrent HSC studies
• gain an appropriate mathematical background for a wide range of educational and employment aspirations.
