This course develops essential Stage 5 knowledge of polynomials and functions, providing a strong foundation for senior mathematics. Students will build confidence with algebraic techniques, function notation, graphs, transformations, and polynomial relationships. These concepts are fundamental for success in Mathematics Extension 1 and Extension 2, where they are applied extensively to advanced algebra, calculus, and problem-solving.Students will complete a comprehensive test on day 5 covering the key concepts and skills developed throughout the course.
