This unit introduces students to several fundamental areas of mathematics and uses modern tools such as spread sheets and pocket calculators. Themes including: problem-solving, the function concept, applying mathematics to practical problems, and proof, are used to show how mathematical topics are interrelated. This unit is designed to develop students' skills and deepen their mathematical understanding.<br/><br/>The topics covered have been developed around the VELS strands for Levels 1-4, and include: number systems and operations, modelling with formulae, plane and solid geometry, measurement, sets and functions, chance and probability, looking at data, graphs and networks. -- Course Website
