Scope of the Topic
In the new curriculum there is no separation of Algebra and Graphing from the other topics, whereas most of these materials date from before that change.
There are a number of videos on the
Video Page. They cover most of the topic, except for a few items at Excellence.
Core Skills
The "Basic" sheets are far too easy for Year 11, but are left in for practice at the start of the topic. Year 11 students should be able to do the "Harder" ones by the end.
