Overview

Year 11 Mathematical Methods gives students the essential skills associated with Polynomials as specified in the Senior Mathematics Australian curriculum. In this program, we help students build on their prior learning to develop algebraic skills to manipulate polynomials and find rational factors. This enables them to fully factorise any given polynomial. In addition, we show students how to sketch polynomials using the rational factors.
