Choosing a senior maths subject is truly like finding the Goldilocks option. Too difficult, and students may become overwhelmed and underperform. Too easy, and they may miss out on the challenge, preparation or assumed knowledge they require for their future career pathways. They need the subject that is just right.
Across Australia, thousands of students are currently choosing their Year 11 subjects. Students may think they’re just choosing a maths subject, but they are also shaping the university courses and careers most immediately available after school.
