Maths General 1, Maths General 2? (1 Viewer)

[NoFaceValue]

I was just reading though the draft syllabi for Maths courses and although there were a few quirks, one stood out to me the most.

It stated that there is "General Mathematics 1" and "General Mathematics 2".

Although I'm not planning to do either, I'm just curious; do they currently exist, or is the BoS just planning to create them? And will there really be a major difference?

At my school, we just call it "General Maths"... I never even knew there were two different courses; one which is harder than the other...

There is only one proposed preliminary general mathematics syllabus - Preliminary Mathematics (General).
Maths General 1 is a new HSC course designed for students who either have very little interest in mathematics or those who have have been diagnosed by a medical practitioner as retarded or mentally handicapped (e.g. Down's Syndrome and Fragile X patients). Students complete the common course in Year 11 and then elect to take General 1 or General 2. General 1 and General 2 both contain focus studies in applied mathematics, just like the proposed preliminary course. The Board aimed to implement the preliminary course in 2010 but, in simplistic terms, failed to get their act together.

Holy crap - General Maths is already super-simple, General 1 must be primary school maths... D:
