The course aims to engage learners in many practical topics of mathematics, and cement their understanding of fundamental areas. Students apply their mathematics to diverse settings, including everyday calculations, financial management, measurement and geometry, and simple data analysis. There is an emphasis on developing students’ mental skills and expanding their ability to apply their mathematical skills with commonly used technologies like MS Excel.

General Maths is designed to help students to continue to build on their prior learning and develop stronger skills. This subject is based on the Victorian Mathematics Curriculum but employable in a wider range of situations, such as life skills, finance, sport science, building and construction and other student selected topics. It will allow students to be exposed to all general mathematical skills and focuses strongly on preparing students to be able to undertake any pathway they prefer, at the highest possible standard.
