Course Description

This course covers every dot point from ME-T1 Inverse Trigonometric Functions, ME-T2 Further Trigonometric Identities and ME-C1 Rates of Change from the new NSW Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 syllabus. Please note that only Extension 1 content is covered, not Mathematics Advanced. These topics have Functions and Calculus from Advanced as prerequisites.

The course goes into greater detail than the textbooks, so teachers are more comfortable in their ability to deliver the content. All 106 proofs and examples have been recorded, so that you can watch an experienced maths teacher talk through the examples and any important points to note.

New and existing content is explored in detail, including interesting and more efficient techniques that experienced teachers may not have seen before. Important points to be covered with students are noted, and the limits of the syllabus are discussed. As more detail on the syllabus is released by NESA any changes required will be made. Also included are related skills that are beyond the syllabus that you can use to extend more capable students.

The course includes:

  • 127 recorded examples

  • 139 page course handout

  • 127 optional practice questions matching the examples from the course, with fully worked solutions

The remainder of the Mathematics Extension 1 syllabus, is covered in four other courses:

EXT1#1 of the series covers  ME-A1 Working with Combinatorics and ME-F1 Further Work with Functions (F1.1: Graphical Relationships)

EXT1#2 of the series covers the remainder of ME-F1 Further Work with Functions plus ME-F2 Polynomials.

Ext1#4 (Year 12) covers ME-P1 Proof by Mathematical Induction and ME-V1 Introduction to Vectors.

Ext1#5 (Year 12) covers ME-T3 Trigonometric Equations, ME-C2 Further Calculus Skills, ME-C3 Applications of Calculus and ME-S1 The Binomial Distribution.

 

Audience

Mathematics teachers of any experience level who are preparing to teach the new Extension 1 syllabus.
