VCE Maths Methods overview  \nMATHEMATICAL METHODS Units 1 and 2 are completely prescribed and provide an introductory study of simple elementary functions, algebra, calculus, probability and statistics and their applications in a variety of practical and theoretical contexts. They are designed as preparation for Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4 and cover assumed knowledge and skills for those units .  \nMATHEMATICAL METHODS Units 3 and 4 are completely prescribed and extend the study of simple elementary functions to include combinations of these functions, algebra, calculus, probability and statistics, and their applications in a variety of practical and theoretical contexts. They also provide background for further study in, for example, science, humanities, economics and medicine .  \nSeymour College / 5  \nApproved Technology  \nAt Seymour College we use the TI-Nspire CAS calculator for all VCE Maths Subjects.  \nSeymour College / 6  \nAssessment – School Based  \nContribution to final assessment School-assessed Coursework will contribute 20 per cent to the study score for each of Units 3 and 4.  \nUNIT 3  \nApplication task A function and calculus-based mathematical investigation of a practical or theoretical context.  \nThe application task is to be of 4–6 hours duration over a period of 1–2 weeks.  \nUNIT 4  \nTwo Problem solving and Modelling tasks: Task 1 : Functions and Calculus  \nTask 2: Probability and Statistics  \nThe modelling or problem-solving tasks are to be of 2–3 hours duration over a period of 1 week.  \nSeymour College / 7  \nAssessment-External  \nEND OF YEAR EXAMINATIONS  \nExamination 1  \nShort answer and no technology  \n1 hour  \nThis examination contributes 20% to the final assessment.  \nExamination 2  \nMultiple choice and Extended answer Technology plus bound book  \n2 hours  \nThis examination contributes 40% to the final assessment.  \nSeymour College / 8  \nCareers and pathways  \nA lot of courses, particularly in the fields of science, economics, engineering and biomedicine require students to have completed Maths Methods.  \nLooking to the Future with Mathematical Methods CAS…….  \nPost-secondary Education: Engineering, Computer Science, Medicine, Biomedicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, Accounting, Commerce, Information Technology, Aviation, Nanotechnology, Radiography, Pharmacy, Science, Applied Science, Environments, etc .  \nEmployment: Engineer, Accountant, Surveyor, Pilot, Geophysicist, Medical Practitioner, Computer Programmer, Biochemist, Naval Architect, Meteorologist, Optometrist, Psychiatrist, Quantity Surveyor, Mathematics Teacher, Astronomer, Financial Advisor, Actuary, Army/Navy/Airforce Officer…  \nLife Skills: This subject teaches students to break down difficult a","cbCaibQCO2bIvJWD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibQCO2bIvJWD","pdf",295008,"English","# Contents\n## Maths Combinations\n## Maths Methods Pathway\n## Maths Methods Overview\n## Assessment – School Based\n## Assessment-External\n## Careers and pathways","[{\"question\":\"What are the main topics covered in Mathematical Methods Units 1 and 2?\",\"answer\":\"Units 1 and 2 provide an introduction to simple elementary functions, algebra, calculus, probability and statistics, and their applications in practical and theoretical contexts.\"},{\"question\":\"What assessment components apply to Units 3 and 4?\",\"answer\":\"School-assessed coursework contributes 20% to the study score for each of Units 3 and 4, including an application task for Unit 3 and two problem-solving/modelling tasks for Unit 4.\"},{\"question\":\"Which calculator technology is approved for Seymour College VCE Maths subjects?\",\"answer\":\"Seymour College uses the TI-Nspire CAS calculator for all VCE Maths subjects.\"}]","VCE Maths Methods - Guide - 2023 | PDF",1789905058,23]
