Course Description
This course covers every dot point of ME-F2 Polynomials and the remainder of ME-F1 Further Work with Functions from the new NSW Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 syllabus (F1.1 Graphical Relationships was covered in course EXT1#1).
The course goes into greater detail than the textbooks, so that teachers become comfortable in their ability to deliver the content. All 127 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:
-
127 recorded examples
-
139 page course handout
-
127 optional practice questions matching the examples from the course, with fully worked solutions
A suggested scope and sequence for Year 11 Advanced and Extension 1 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#3 covers ME-T1 Inverse Trigonometric Functions, ME-T2 Further Trigonometric Identities & ME-C1 Rates of Change.
Ext1#4 (Year 12) covers ME-P1 Proof by Mathematical Induction and ME-V1 Introduction to Vectors.
Ext1#5 (Year 12) covers ME-T3 Trigonometric Equations, ME-C2 Further Calculus Skills, ME-C3 Applications of Calculus and ME-S1 The Binomial Distribution.
Audience
Mathematics teachers of any experience level who are preparing to teach the new Extension 1 syllabus.
