Total % 100 Measuring attainment of the assessment components will involve assessing a student’s ability in relation to aspects of the Mathematics, Mathematics Extension 1 and Mathematics Extension 2 courses such as: Concepts, skills and techniques recalling mathematical terminology and concepts identifying the nature of mathematical problems from • • theoretical and practical contexts, and appropriate techniques for solution applying appropriate • techniques to solve routine problems. Reasoning and communication interpreting information from theoretical and practical contexts given in written, diagrammatic or • graphical form, and representing given information in other ways explaining terminology, concepts, • techniques for solution or aspects of a solution, using written and/or spoken language and diagrams • interpreting and using mathematical models, and constructing mathematical arguments and proofs to solve familiar and unfamiliar problems evaluating methods of solution in terms of efficiency and breadth of • application, and recognising limitations to the validity of solutions. Notes on assessment of Mathematics, Mathematics Extension 1 and Mathematics Extension 2 Teachers may use discretion in determining the manner in which they allocate tasks within the course content. Up to 20% of the internal assessment mark submitted to the Board of Studies for the Mathematics course may be based on the Preliminary course.
