Assignment 1 of the Year 11 Mathematics Advanced course that I’m doing at TAFE consisted of questions from the first two chapters of the textbook: Algebraic Techniques, and Equations and Inequalities. I submitted Assignment 1 to my teacher on 17 June 2021 and I received my marks and feedback from my teacher on 24 June 2021. I got 16.5 out

I found the following image below on page 50 of my Year 11 – Advanced textbook (under Exercise 2.01 – Equations). I found it funny because it gives a whole new meaning/perspective on the “glass half empty or half full” expression.

The Year 11 Mathematics Advanced course through TAFE involves students completing five assignments to get their final grade. The marks of assignments 2, 4 and 5 make up the final grade. Assignment 1 consists of questions from the first two chapters of the textbook: Algebraic Techniques, and Equations and Inequalities. Assignment 2 consists of questions from chapters 3-4 of the

The textbook that TAFE uses for their Year 11 Mathematics Advanced course is Maths in Focus – Mathematics Advanced. 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 Advanced syllabus (2017). The Mathematics Advanced course is designed for students who intend to study at university,

Now that I have finished the Year 11 – Standard (Pathway 2) course, I’m moving on to the Year 11 – Advanced course. As I haven’t done any advanced mathematics study since Year 8, it will be interesting to find out whether or not I am capable of any senior level advanced mathematics, and if I really am smart enough

I completed the Year 11 Standard Mathematics (Pathway 2) course through TAFE Digital in 2020. My final marks can be found below: As mentioned in a previous blog post, over the last two years, admittedly for some unknown reason, my passion for mathematics has re-emerged. I tried to fulfill this re-emerged passion by buying mathematics books, which included buying Basic Math

The last chapter of the Standard textbook is Driving Safely. While Standard/General Mathematics has always focused on mathematics relevant to day-to-day life, Driving Safely focused on mathematics I never completed when I was in high school. This chapter focused specifically on: One aspect of this chapter I found interesting was the fact that there is a formula that calculates BAC.

Chapter 11 of the Standard textbook is World Locations and Times, with the exercises within that chapter specifically focusing on latitude and longitude, time, timetables, and international time zones. I loved studying World Locations and Times when I was in high school (back then it was called Spherical Geometry), so much so that I was a little saddened by the

In Chapter 10 of the Standard textbook, I worked on analysing data, one specific topic in that chapter that fascinated me was the effect of outliers. The textbook states that an outlier is “a very high or very low score in a data set that is clearly apart  from the other scores. It can occur for a variety of reasons
