New Advanced Mathematics Syllabus
As we take pride in preparing for the new Advanced Mathematics syllabus, we aim to keep students rest assured of our Prestige quality of teaching towards these changes. 
The NSW Education Standards Authority will implement a revised Mathematics syllabus across the state from Term 1, 2019. After in-depth planning by experts in NESA, the current outcomes have been developed to benefit future Year 11/12 students who will be better equipped in branching out to further tertiary education following their secondary studies.
 
As Prestige Tuition prepares to create materials for Mathematics in 2019, we thought we’d provide a sneak peek into the new syllabus for Mathematics Advanced (2U Maths).
 
The following topics have been removed and will not feature in the syllabus from 2019:
  • Basic Arithmetic and Algebra
  • Linear Functions
  • Plane Geometry
  • Coordinate Geometry
  • Physical Applications of Calculus
 
The new Mathematics Advanced course is a course that focuses on developing the awareness of students to the importance of the applications of Mathematics in the real world. It achieves this goal by introducing more structure to the syllabus and reducing the number of topics that need to be covered in Year 11 and Year 12. The topics that are included in the new syllabus are:

​Year 11:
·      Functions
·      Trigonometry
·      Calculus – Introduction to Differential Equations
·      Logarithms and Exponential Functions
·      Statistical Analysis
 
Year 12:
·      Functions – Graphing with Calculus
·      Trigonometric Functions 
·      Calculus – Part II (Differential Calculus)
·      Integral Calculus 
·      Financial Mathematics 
·      Statistical Analysis
​Throughout my education in mathematics, a mentor of mine said ‘1 +1 will always be 2’. On that note, it is crucial for student to not worry at all about these structural changes to the syllabus – it is only normal. These changes are designed to improve the relevance of the mathematical concepts taught in Year 11 and Year 12 in bridging the gap in Mathematics education between high school and university.
 
At Prestige Tuition, we have a well-experienced and dedicated Mathematics team that strives to prepare lesson plans, homework booklets and any additional materials that are of a high quality and are exclusively available to our students.
 
Coming soon we will provide a further breakdown of the topic changes in Advanced Mathematics. All enrolments for 2019 will begin in November 2018, so stay up-to-date through social media for updates.
