Year 9 Mathematics teachers have recommended from the following options for Year 10 Maths subjects:
Methods Specialist Pathway (MSP)
The majority of tertiary courses which require some Maths as a prerequisite require VCE Methods (CAS) [Units 3 and 4]. Students intending to do Methods (CAS) at VCE must choose this subject. Students choosing this course should have displayed not only an aptitude and an ability in Maths, especially in Algebra, in Years 7, 8 and 9, but also a strong work ethic and the resilience to persevere and solve problems.
General Maths
This is a comprehensive course which provides a thorough preparation for VCE General Maths and participation in work and society. Students choosing this course should have demonstrated satisfactory understanding of Maths taught in Year 7, 8 and 9.
Foundation Maths
This course is aimed at students who are interested in consolidating their foundation Maths skills and takes a more applied learning approach, aimed at preparing students for the everyday and workplace maths they will encounter after their schooling.
Vocational Pathways Mathematics
Vocational Pathways Mathematics is a highly practical course tailored for students pursuing a hands-on, real-world approach to numeracy. It builds essential skills for employment, apprenticeships, and everyday life.

Depending on the Maths you are undertaking this year, you should select the VCE Mathematics subject/s that best suit your potential future pathways. See the individual subject pages for further details.
