Level 1 Mathematics with Algebra
11MAA Course DescriptionContact Person: G. Holas-Clark.
Recommended Prior Learning- This course is open to ALL students who have completed Year 10 Maths.
- Students do NOT need to have passed numeracy in Year 10 to do this course; we often have students pass numeracy during Year 11 and succeed in the course as well. We strongly recommend students discussing their options with their teacher.
- Students taking this course need only bring a positive mindset and a willingness to make mistakes and learn from them.
This course is designed for students who want to build strong algebraic thinking skills while developing their understanding of measurement, geometry, and statistics. The focus is on learning how to use algebra to represent and solve real-world problems, and to develop the mathematical fluency needed for success in senior mathematics.
You will explore topics such as interpreting statistical data, applying geometric reasoning, and solving measurement problems—all through an algebraic lens. You’ll develop strategies for solving equations, manipulating expressions, and understanding patterns and graphs.
Why choose this course?
11MAA is the recommended pathway for students who:
- Want to keep their future options open – this course supports access to ALL Year 12 and Year 13 mathematics courses (including Calculus, Statistics and General Mathematics).
- May want to pursue a Mathematical subject such as physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering, finance, economics, architecture or medicine.
