    Acceleration and policies?

    So do you think he said "You have not completed the outcomes of the course" meaning that i haven't learnt it? See, i dont think he has a problem with me accelerating (because i am already accelerated by 1 year), but i think that he might have the misconception that i have to sit in on each...

    Acceleration and policies?

    thanks namu for all your support. I suppose that the only problem is my HT of mathematics. It seams he has his mind set on me not doing it. Although, when i asked him, it seamed like he didnt even consider the possibility, just, no. Would you have any advice on how i could change his mind?

    Acceleration and policies?

    Thanks namu So are you suggesting i do all the tests first, or are you suggesting that i continue my prelim adv and do the tests as they come whilst doing HSC adv maths? And yes, i agree with not doing the 3 unit as well. Spreading the HSC out over 3 year would be much easier. And my...

    Acceleration and policies?

    Hi, I am someone who accelerated into the Preliminary maths adv. and ext. 1 courses. Now, how i came about to do this was that in year 8 i found a passion for mathematics when I asked if my teacher could show me calculus. Soon after, i started to learn all the lower mathematics (9, 10 and 11)...

    Need advice about maths class :S

    Hi, I have started mathematics advanced and mathematics extension 1 this year. I am at a school where the teachers are not very good and they use the most basic text book for the courses (maths in focus). To give some context, the highest score in mathematics advanced last year (in the HSC) was...

    OMG noob maths help please

    Okay, so the new rate is equal to 100% + 7.5% = 107.5%, so 107.5% = $1735, then just solve. If you need help with it, just ask :)

    Mathematics Marathon

    \int{x^2} = \frac{x^3}{3} hence \int_{2}^{3}{x^2} = \frac{3^3}{3} - \frac{2^3}{3} = 3^2 - \frac{8}{3} = 9 - \frac{8}{3} = 6\frac{1}{3}

    should teachers teach beyond the syllabus

    I completely agree with the report. In school, mathematics is taught as a 'memorize this formula and use it here' kind of way. This is one of the reasons why students hate maths... its because they are not learning maths. Maths should be taught as something beautiful, some thing purely logical...

    Maths Game!

    Question: Circle geometry The side AB of a triangle ABC is a diameter of a circle of radius R, and C lies on this circle. The angle bisector of angle BAC meets BC at E and then the circle at D. When produced, AC meets the circumcircle of triangle CED at F. If BC = a, express CF in terms of R and a.
