COURSE OVERVIEW

• an understanding of the fundamental mathematical ideas presented in each topic
• mathematical skills to apply their knowledge and understanding to mathematical problems that are graded in level of difficulty
• the ability to analyse concrete and abstract problems and select the appropriate methods to the solution
• the ability to present logical solutions using appropriate strategies and providing sound reasoning to justify their conclusions
