Lesson 1

Algebraic Relationships Revision

Consolidate Year 11 skills: solving linear equations, substituting into formulas, gradient and y-intercept, and plotting from tables — preparation for Year 12 non-linear content.

Lesson 2

Linear Relationships and Modelling

Build and interpret linear models from fixed costs, starting values, rates of change, tables, and practical equations.

Lesson 3

Quadratic Models

Recognise and interpret quadratic models including parabola shape, opening direction, vertex, intercepts, and practical context restrictions.

Lesson 4

Exponential and Inverse Variation Models

Recognise and evaluate exponential growth and decay models and inverse variation models, and identify each type from tables, equations, and contexts.

Lesson 5

Reciprocal Relationships

Recognise and sketch y = k/x as a rectangular hyperbola, identify its asymptotes and branches, find k from a given point, and solve practical inverse variation problems.

Lesson 6

Simultaneous Equations in Context

Solve and interpret pairs of practical models, including equal-cost points and option comparisons.

Lesson 7

Linear Inequalities and Modelling

Solve linear inequalities, represent solutions on a number line, and interpret inequality constraints in practical budgeting and threshold contexts.

Lesson 8

Working with Formulae and Substitution

Substitute values into literal equations from science, finance, and measurement contexts, and rearrange simple formulas to find a target variable.

Lesson 9

Algebraic Relationships Exam Practice

Practise HSC-style algebra modelling questions using linear models, non-linear graphs, simultaneous equations, and contextual interpretation.
