Satisfactory completion of this unit is required by students wishing to succeed in VCE Maths Methods next year.

Students will be able to: solve problems in financial mathematics including ones using recursive techniques, and extend these techniques to investigate growth and decay including using ICT; solve problems involving direct and inverse proportion; understand and use graphical and analytical methods of finding distance, midpoint and gradient of an interval on a number plane; construct and interpret box plots and compare data sets represented by parallel box plots; pose data-orientated questions, plan sampling, data collection and representation, make and justify conclusions, report the investigation and evaluate choices; use formal mathematical language to classify shapes and objects including congruence and similarity; and work fluently with trigonometric ratios and solve problems requiring their use in right-angled triangles, including direction and angles of elevation and depressions, using the three trigonometric ratios.

The unit cost indicated is the 2024 fee. Please note that all unit fees are currently being reviewed and 2025 costs will be provided once approved by School Council.
