STAGE 1 (YEAR 11) PURE MATHEMATICS A



CCSS YEAR 12 SPECIALIST MATHEMATICS

Assessment Plan : 2008

The course content consists of five main topics, which are as follows:

1. Trigonometric Preliminaries – 6 hours (3 weeks)

Trigonometric Preliminaries

2. Polynomials & Complex Numbers – 24 hours (8 weeks)

• Complex Numbers, Real Polynomials

3. Deductive Geometry & vectors – 24 hours (7 weeks)

• Three Dimensional Vector Geometry, Geometry (Vector & Deductive Proof)

4. Calculus – 26 hours (7 weeks)

Calculus, Trigonometric Calculus, related rates applications

5. Differential Equations – 20 hours (7 weeks)

Differential Equations, Systems of Differential Equations

Your final subject assessment mark (out of 100) will be determined by Skills & Applications Tasks (Tests & Mid Year Exam): Weighting =70% & Portfolio (Directed Investigations and/or Project): Weighting =30%.

Your textbook has revision exercises at the end of each chapter, use these to help you prepare for tests.

Every student should buy a MASA exam revision guide.

Every student needs to have their own graphics calculator for this subject.

If you are absent for a test you will need a medical certificate, and be expected to sit a test for that topic at the next available opportunity. See me straight away in order to catch up on missed work. Seek help actively.
