The year 12 assessment schedule: HMAT 2017 assessment schedule.docx

Here is the board of studies website (to check the syllabus and the content that you need to know for the HSC):

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/mathematics-advanced.html

and here are 2 GREAT WEBSITES to access 100's of exam papers from all over the NSW education system:

http://www.boredofstudies.org/

http://www.acehsc.net/

I will be getting a lot of assessment questions from these websites. Good luck finding them when I haven't written out the exam yet!

The only way to improve exam technique is by practising on past exams.

Here is the maths 2 unit formula sheet provided in the exam: https://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/maths-ref-sheet.pdf

Here are some websites I use to support the teaching of the advanced course. You should play around with them and explore their options because these programs make the 2 unit course very easy to understand.

Also, credit to Vanessa (and Fiona Karren) who uses HSC Hub a lot.

You should try these maths websites which are a good learning resource:

Curriculum timetable

(while the textbook is used to practise number skills the emphasis is on mastering content, especially semantics, and procedures) :

If you understand the semantics in a question and you have mastered the process, then I guarantee that you will not have the slightest fear of what the numbers are. In fact, you will not care what the numbers are because you know, in the depths of your soul, that you are going to get it RIGHT!

Week / Date | Lesson 1 (Tuesday) | Lesson 2 (Wed)
1 / 17 Jul | applications of series (compound interest, annuities / super) | applications of series (loan repayments)
2 / | Trial exams revision | James Ruse 2015 Trial
3 / | rev. | rev.
4 / 7 Aug | TRIAL EXAM period | EXAM on Thursday
5 / 14 Aug | TRIAL EXAM period | TRIAL EXAM period
6 / | rev. (HSC 2016) | rev. (HSC 2015)
7 / | rev. (HSC 2014) | rev. (HSC 2013)
8 / | rev. (HSC 2012) | rev. (HSC 2011)
9 / | rev. (HSC 2010) | rev. (HSC 2009)
10 / | rev. (HSC 2008) | rev. (HSC 2007)

Partnerships will be formed, alliances created. One massive study group will be created to revise maths content and concepts. You already know your groups.
