Course Description

This course covers every dot point from ME-T3 Trigonometric Equations, ME-C2 Further Calculus Skills, ME-C3 Applications of Calculus and ME-S1 The Binomial Distribution from the new NSW Mathematics Year 12 Extension 1 syllabus - four topics that bring together skills from the Year 11 and 12 courses.

The course goes into greater detail than the textbooks, so teachers become 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:

  • 140 recorded examples

  • 284 page course handout

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

A suggested scope and sequence for Year 12 Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2 for combined classes is provided, plus a lesson by lesson breakdown of the Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2 courses for Year 11 and 12 to help you create your own scope and sequences.

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#3 covers ME-T1 Inverse Trigonometric Functions, ME-T2 Further Trigonometric Identities and ME-C1 Rates of Change.

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

Audience

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