Mathematics Extension 1 PHSC

Mathematics Extension 1 Task 1, Task 2, Task 3, Task 4

Course Description:

Students studying this course must have a solid background in Mathematics. It is constructed with the assumption that students have completed the 5.3 strand of the School Certificate Mathematics at a high level of achievement. Students attempting the Extension 1 course also complete the course and assessments for the Mathematics course. This course continues the theme of the Mathematics course, and leads to further study of Mathematics and its applications at a tertiary level.

PE1   appreciates the role of mathematics in the solution of practical problems

PE2   uses multi-step deductive reasoning in a variety of contexts

PE3   solves problems involving circle geometry 

PE6   makes comprehensive use of mathematical language, diagrams and notation for communicating in a wide variety of situations

TASK:

1.  Solving Inequations with pronumerals in the denominator. Ref: Ex 3.5

2.  Equations with 3 unknowns.  Ref: Ex 3.15

3.  Sketching harder graphs.  Ref: Ex 5.17 – 5.19.

4.  Circle Geometry.  Ref: Ex 9.1 – 9. 3

5.  Harder applications of the Mathematics (2 Unit) course.  Ref: Chapter 1 – 3 & 5.




Remember:

Assessment tasks are very important.  You should only be absent or fail to submit a task by the due date, if you are sick or there has been an extreme family problem.  You should have a doctor’s certificate for illness and/or a letter, presented to the Principal, from a parent/caregiver for family reasons.  Refer to the relevant section of the Year 11 Preliminary assessment book for details of your obligations.

You must complete an Illness/Misadventure form (available from Mr Grunseit) for any task that is missed.  Failure to do this will result in a ZERO MARK, and a non-attempt being recorded.


This is your responsibility!
