For real though, as someone who has taught VCE maths and has been in maths leadership in Victorian secondary schools, these are phenomenal. What a brilliant resource to share.
Putting my Methods teacher hat on for a moment, the sequencing here is incredible. You've nailed it. Rather than slamming calculus together and wondering why the topic isn't done as well as we'd like - especially when apps of calculus forms such a large part of the exam - distributing it allows for constant review and reinforcement. Calculus feeds into so many of the other topics in the SD, and so treating it as a standalone has never made sense. Terrific sequencing from one of the best.
Thanks Caiti! I'll work out the best way to set it up to allow for more AC aligned courses to make use of it and work out what is and isn't in their courses.
I'm glad that sequencing intent has come across so well!
Do one for QLD next!!
