The Mathematics department has had a great start to Term 3 with high student engagement in classroom activities. This week, our IGNITE students in years 7, 8 and 9 participated in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Congratulations to all students who participated! We look forward to celebrating their success when the results are published.

We are fast approaching the assessment period for this term and students have already been informed about the assessment mode and time.

• Year 7 and Year 8 will be doing an exam on algebra.
• Year 9 will be working on an assignment applying the skills learnt in class to a real-life scenario.
• Year 10 classes will also be assessed with an exam.
• Year 11 students are currently working through Unit 2 content. Essential Maths students are currently working on their problem solving and modelling task due in Week 7. Mathematical Methods, General Maths and Specialist Maths students will be doing the Unit 2 exam in week 9. Students who successfully complete Unit 2 in their respective subjects, will earn 1 QCE point.
• Year 12 students in Maths Methods and General Maths have now completed all their internal assessments and will be doing a mock external exam in week 10. Essential maths students are working thorugh a problem solving and modelling task that is due in week 6. 

I encourage all students to actively participate in the classroom activities to improve their academic outcomes.
