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

Assignment 1 of the Year 11 Mathematics Standard (Pathway 2) Course that I’m doing at TAFE consisted of questions from the first three chapters of the textbook: Collecting and Presenting Data, Formulas and Equations, and Earning Money and Taxation. I submitted Assignment 1 to my teacher on 18 June 2020 and received my marks and feedback from my teacher on

The Year 11 Mathematics Standard (Pathway 2) course through TAFE involves students completing five assignments to get their final grade. The marks of assignments 1, 3 and 5 make up the final grade. As the marks of assignments 2 and 4 don’t make up the final grade, students have the chance to re-submit these assignments if they don’t pass the

I came across the payslips of Homer Simpson and Edna Krabappel as part of questions 10 and 11 in Exercise 3.05 – Gross pay and net pay. I think it’s safe to say, based on the payslip, that it was the hardest working week of Homer Simpson’s life. Reference: Bootsma, K, Hamper, S, Willard, M & Yen, R, 2017, New Century

Chapter 2 of my textbook is all about formulas and equations in the context of algebra, however Exercise 2.03 specifically focuses on formulas. The textbook defines formulas as “an algebraic rule that describes a mathematical relationship between variables.” I’ve always loved formulas as I believe having a formula to follow is the easiest way to solve a mathematical problem I’m
