Preparation Strategies
We focus on developing problem-solving skills and conceptual understanding to prepare for VCE-level mathematics.
Building Strong Foundations
Our approach ensures students gain confidence and skills necessary for advanced studies in Grades 11-12.
Current Curriculum (Victorian Curriculum Levels 9-10)
The curriculum focuses on developing mathematical understanding, fluency, logical reasoning, analytical thought, and problem-solving skills.
Key Areas
Number and Algebra: Linear and non-linear expressions, equations.
Measurement and Geometry: Pythagoras, trigonometry, surface area, volume.
Statistics and Probability: Data representation, probability models.
Study Tips
- Practice daily with varied problems.
- Use online tools for interactive learning.
- Relate math to real-world situations.
- Seek help immediately on difficult topics.
Strategies to Prepare for VCE
Build a strong base in algebra and functions, as they are crucial for all VCE math subjects. Focus on understanding concepts rather than rote learning.
Transition to VCE
No scaling at this level, but success here leads to better VCE performance. Aim for high achievement to access advanced VCE math.
