New Mathematics General Stage 6 Syllabus
The new Mathematics General Stage 6 Syllabus is now available on the Board’s website.
This new syllabus incorporates the Preliminary Mathematics General (Board Developed) course, HSC Mathematics General 2 (Board Developed) course and HSC Mathematics General 1 (Content Endorsed) course (CEC).
The Preliminary Mathematics General course allows students to access either the HSC Mathematics General 2 course or the HSC Mathematics General 1 course in their HSC year.
The Preliminary Mathematics General/HSC Mathematics General 2 pathway replaces the General Mathematics (1999) course from Year 11 2013 and Year 12 2014. The first HSC examination for Mathematics General 2 will be conducted in 2014.
The HSC Mathematics General 1 course is an additional course in the suite of Stage 6 HSC mathematics courses. It has been designed to better meet the needs of students who wish to study mathematics in Stage 6 but whose purposes are not accommodated in the HSC Mathematics General 2 course. As with other Content Endorsed Courses, the HSC Mathematics General 1 course will be subject to internal assessment only.
