Year 9 Mathematics Program
Our Year 9 courses, offered in Core and Path streams, are designed to help students succeed academically. Placement is personalised through a consultation with parents, where we review academic reports and performance.
Syllabus Change
This structure only applies to students in Stage 5 (Year 9 and 10)
What changed?
Streaming students into 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 classes has historically predetermined their senior mathematics level by limiting the content they are taught and directing them towards specific pathways. This system is unfair, as it restricts opportunities and effectively confines students to predefined academic trajectories.
The curriculum has been divided into ‘Cores’ and ‘Paths’ topics.
‘The aim for most students is to demonstrate achievement of the Core and as many Path outcomes as possible by the end of Stage 5 and this should guide teacher planning.’ (NESA, 2024).
‘Pathways in Stage 5 must be carefully planned to ensure some students have the opportunity to engage with Advanced and Extension courses.’ (NESA, 2024).
Hence, here at Precision, we offer Year 9 CORE and PATH courses to tailor the curriculum to our students' abilities and their desired senior mathematics level.
