My Textbook (Year 11 – Mathematics Standard [Pathway 2]) & Year 11 Assignments
The textbook that TAFE uses for their Year 11 Mathematics Standard course is New Century Maths, specifically Pathway 2.
The textbook is published by Nelson, a Cengage Company. The preface of the textbook states that it has been re-written for the new Mathematics Standard syllabus (2017) and that the syllabus describes two pathways for Mathematics Standard.
Pathway 1 is designed for students heading towards the workforce or further training after school, providing practical mathematics skills for life, whereas Pathway 2 is designed for students heading towards the HSC exam, ATAR (it was UAI when I high school, it changed to ATAR in 2009) and university studies.
There are 12 chapters in the New Century Maths – Mathematics Standard (Pathway 2) textbook:
- Collecting and Presenting Data
- Formulas and Equations
- Earning Money and Taxation
- Probability
- Measurement
- Managing a Home
- Linear Functions
- Interest and Depreciation

The TAFE Year 11 Mathematics Standard course consists of five assignments on the content in the New Century Maths textbook, with three out of the five assignments (1, 3 and 5) making up my final grade.
