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

Assignment 5 of the Year 11 Mathematics Standard (Pathway 2) Course that I completed through TAFE last year consisted of questions from chapter 12 of the textbook: Driving Safely, and revision questions on all topics presented throughout the Course. I submitted Assignment 5 to my teacher on 26 November 2020 and received my marks and feedback from my teacher on

Assignment 4 of the Year 11 Mathematics Standard (Pathway 2) Course that I completed through TAFE last year consisted of questions from chapters 10-11 of the textbook: Analysing Data, and World Locations and Times. I submitted Assignment 4 to my teacher on 19 November 2020 and received my marks and feedback from my teacher on 5 December 2020. I got

Assignment 3 of the Year 11 Mathematics Standard (Pathway 2) Course that I’m doing at TAFE consisted of questions from chapters 7-9 of the textbook: Linear Functions, Interest and Depreciation, and Owning A Car. I submitted Assignment 3 to my teacher on 8 October 2020 and received my marks and feedback from my teacher on 22 October 2020. I got

Assignment 2 of the Year 11 Mathematics Standard (Pathway 2) Course that I’m doing at TAFE consisted of questions from chapters 4-6 of the textbook: Probability, Measurement, and Managing A Home. I submitted Assignment 2 to my teacher on 4 August 2020 and received my marks and feedback from my teacher on 19 August 2020. I got 35 out of

Following on from my previous post about my love of formulas, I came across more of them in chapter 5, when I reached the exercises that focus on area, volume and surface area. As mentioned in a previous post, I’ve always loved formulas as I believe having a formula to follow is the easiest way to solve a mathematical problem

Another topic in Chapter 5 of the textbook that interested me was error in measurement. The textbook stated that no measurement is ever exact and that when we use a device to take a measurement, there is always some error which can be caused by a fault in the measuring device, an inappropriate measuring device, and human error.  Exercise 5.02

Chapter 5 of my textbook (the longest chapter) is all about measurement. Exercise 5.01 focused on metric units and converting between metric units (i.e. converting cm to mm, g to kg, kg to t, and so on). Although there weren’t any questions on converting metric units to imperial units or vice versa, this exercise made me think about metrication in

Chapter 4 of my textbook is all about probability. The first page of the chapter states that I will “recognise that P(event) has a range of 0 to 1”, there are two reasons that this fact interests me. The first reason is that probability is really used in everyday life more than most people realise, such as when certain statistics
