Students undertaking the Enrichment Mathematics program will follow the same core subject selection guide as the mainstream Year 9 Mathematics course.
In addition, they will engage in extension work designed to deepen their conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.
This extension work includes topics such as:
Term 1
- Representing and analysing data using box plots and scatter plots
- Using congruence to construct mathematical proofs
Term 2
- Working with fractional indices and surds
- Compound interest and its applications
- Exploring parallel and perpendicular lines in coordinate geometry
Term 3
- Solving simultaneous linear equations
- Factorising and sketching quadratic trinomials
- Simplifying and solving problems involving algebraic fractions
Term 4
- Applying Pythagoras’ Theorem to solve three-dimensional problems
- Developing algorithmic thinking through structured problem-solving tasks
The Enrichment program is ideal for students who are confident in mathematics and eager to explore more challenging content in preparation for Specialist Maths and Mathematical Methods in senior years.
