HSC Mathematics. The smart way to prepare for your HSC.

This course is the third in a series of four Mathematics Extension 1 courses and focuses on the harder topics from the Mathematics Extension 1 HSC Course. The program covers the binomial distribution and projectile motion. Study skills and examination techniques will also be emphasised.

Other courses in this series include HSC Mathematics Preparation – Extension 1 (Part 1) (January) and HSC Mathematics Preparation – Extension 1 (Part 2) (April). You do not need to attend all three parts in order to benefit.

Outcomes

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

• model the motion of a projectile as a particle moving with constant acceleration due to gravity and derive the equations of motion of a projectile
• apply appropriate statistical processes to present, analyse and interpret data
• answer a range of questions based on the topics covered
• critically evaluate your own and others' solutions to improve the quality of responses in assessment tasks
• interpret mathematical language of examination questions to better understand the steps required in a quality solution.

Content

The following topics from the Mathematics Extension 1 syllabus will be covered:

• ME-S1 The Binomial Distribution
• ME-V1.3 Projectile Motion
