Year 12 Advanced Mathematics Preparation for HSC Finals
Event description
This is a 6-hour course run over 3 days in preparation for finals for students who are only doing Advanced Mathematics. Day 3 is suitable for Ext 1 students as we will be covering the harder questions of Financial Mathematics and Transformations.
You will not want to miss the dynamic Duo of Shirley and Karen team teaching the Advanced Mathematics HSC Course topics.
Student testimonials:
"Shirley has a skill of explaining content in ways she knows her students will absorb it. Her methodology to track errors when practicing past paper questions is brilliant. She is a star educator who definitely knows how to teach!"
"I felt very confident going into the course, but Karen did a great job of providing a lot of practice on many topics, which helped me to identify my weaker areas and improve them in these sessions before my HSC."
"My Maths ability improved exponentially due to my lessons with Shirley. No other teacher has ever explained concepts so clearly and with such skill that even I could understand them. Advanced Mathematics is a tough course yet Shirley's passion for teaching and caring for her students helped me achieve the highest band."
"I appreciated how the teachers explained their thought processes whilst solving the problem, it made for a clear solution that could be followed easily. Thank you, Karen and Shirley."
This course will be run over the following 3 days:
Day 1: Tuesday 26th Sept 2023 from 11 am to 1.00 pm
Day 2: Friday 29th Sept 2023 from 11 am to 1.00 pm
Day 3: Friday 6th Oct 2023 from 11 am to 1.00 pm
A brilliant opportunity for Advanced Mathematics students to consolidate their knowledge and be prepared for the HSC Final Exams. Exam-style questions covering the topics of the Advanced Mathematics course will be presented with worked solutions given in an online and interactive course. This course is aimed at Advanced students who are not doing Ext 1 Mathematics as the pace will be slower than the 4u2gr0w Ext 1 courses.
Topics covered:
Day 1 : Harder Trigonometry, Calculus, and Motion
Day 2 : Statistics, Probability, and Probability Distributions
Day 3 : Hard Financial Mathematics and Transformations
