Learning Outcomes
Outcome 1
On completion of this unit the student should be able to define and explain key concepts as specified in the
content from the areas of study and apply a range of related mathematical routines and procedures.
Outcome 2
On completion of this unit the student should be able to apply mathematical processes in non-routine
contexts, including situations with some open-ended aspects requiring investigative, modelling or problem-
solving techniques or approaches, and analyse and discuss these applications of mathematics.
Outcome 3
On completion of this unit the student should be able to apply computational thinking and use numerical,
graphical, symbolic and statistical functionalities of technology to develop mathematical ideas, produce
results and carry out analysis in situations requiring investigative, modelling or problem-solving techniques
or approaches.
Assessment Tasks
1 Application Task
The student is required to complete a single problem-solving or modelling application task based on content
from the areas of study, with three components of increasing complexity:
• introduction of a context through specific cases or examples;
• consideration of general features of this context;
• variation, or further specification, of assumptions or conditions involved in the context to focus on a
particular feature related to the context.
