YEAR 12 MATHEMATICS EXTENSION 1
Who is this course for?
Specifically developed for Year 12 students studying Mathematics Extension 1 for the HSC. This course covers topics for both Advanced and Extension 1 Mathematics and is a continuation of our Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 program. The full list of topics covered in both Year 11 and Year 12 is given below.
Through this course, we aim to give students an in-depth understanding of the topics and further develop their maths abilities. We will work to strengthen foundational skills, improve critical thinking and problem solving skills, and learn how to synthesise different techniques to tackle complicated examination-style questions.
Recommended for students who:
✔ want to improve their maths skills and enjoy a challenge
✔ enjoy interpersonal interactions and in-class discussions in an informal environment
✔ desire the structure and accountability of weekly lessons
✔ appreciate additional support while in class
