Maths Methods Students Please talk to me.

Equipment Graphical Calculator Text – Maths Quest 12 Checkpoints book Binder books(at least 3), graph paper, ruler, pens, highlighters, … Exam reference book

Exam Reference Book To be used in SACs and both exams Must be bound – no loose sheets or tabs sticking out, can paste papers in Developed throughout the year Can be text book (but this is not recommended by SSC staff)

Before Further Mathematics Be ready to start work lesson 1, 2009 Get calculator, stationary and pencil case organised Visit VCAA website and see past examsVCAA Refine Chapter Summaries Refine Chapter Reviews Practice areas of difficulty from General Mathematics

Personal Requirements for Success Interest Concentration Effort Time Organisation Persistence

And most importantly Balance in your school home, work and social life.
