Level 3 General Mathematics

Are you confident with everyday maths but find algebra a bit tricky? Do you prefer practical applications over long written reports? Do you need maths skills for work, study, or life? Then this is the course for you!

In 13MTG (Year 13 Mathematics – General), you’ll build on your existing maths skills by exploring real-world problems and practical mathematics. You will learn to:

• Apply key skills in project management and scheduling using networks and critical paths.

• Investigate correlation and data relationships to understand patterns and trends.

• Use sampling and resampling techniques to make informed conclusions about populations without needing long statistical write-ups.

• Explore 3D coordinate systems and how they model real-world structures using planar surfaces.

• Investigate how cones and planes interact to form interesting curves known as conic sections.

• Solve problems using linear graphs, and learn how systems of equations can help find the best solutions in real-life situations.

This course is ideal for students who want useful mathematical skills without the heavy focus on algebra or extended statistical reports — perfect preparation for many trades, technical careers, and tertiary study pathways.
