... Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be be counted... Albert Einstein
The curriculum in NSW requires all students to engage in substantial study of mathematics each year, from Kindergarten to Year 10. It becomes optional when students reach Years 11 and 12.
Planning for future careers requires students to know what level of Mathematics they need to study for the HSC, particularly those in the areas of science, health and engineering. It is never too early to start planning what level of maths a student needs in Years 11 and 12 so that disappointment can be avoided or contingency plans made if necessary!
