Course Description

This course provides teachers with a comprehensive guide to the knowledge and techniques required to teach the NSW Mathematics Standard 2017 syllabus. It covers every dot point of MS-S3 Further Statistical Analysis (Standard 1) and MS-S4 Bivariate Data Analysis and MS-S5 The Normal Distribution (Standard 2).


The course goes into greater detail than the textbooks, so that teachers become more comfortable in their ability to deliver the content. All 57 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.


The course includes:

•57 recorded examples
•A total of 30 quiz questions at the end of each lesson
•A 154 page course handout in two formats – one with blank space for you to complete the examples and a second with completed solutions to the examples.
•A 54 page exercise booklet with 57 optional practice questions matching the examples from the course, with fully worked solutions.
