Learn About The Subject

The WACE Mathematics program is designed to equip students with a solid mathematical competency, focusing on reasoning, logical thinking, and practical application. Instead of a single pathway, WACE Math offers different levels (Applications, Methods, Specialist), allowing students to choose the path that best suits their academic and future career orientations. At any level, the course emphasizes the application of concepts from Algebra and Geometry to Calculus to solve problems in science, economics, and daily life.

Common Challenges When Learning WACE Mathematics

Difficulty in choosing the appropriate study level: Requires a clear understanding of the differences between Applications, Methods, and Specialist to select the correct pathway for university majors.
Challenge in applying mathematical knowledge to practical, unfamiliar problems: Demands the ability to model unfamiliar situations and use mathematical tools to solve them.
Obstacle with complex Calculus and Statistics concepts (at the Methods/Specialist level): Requires a solid foundation to master difficult topics.
Hurdle in using a graphing calculator proficiently: Requires advanced skills in using technology for calculator-assumed sections, alongside calculation skills for the calculator-free section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

WACE Mathematics

What is WACE Mathematics?

This is the mathematics curriculum under the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) system. It is a globally recognized certificate, especially by Australian universities.

What are the differences between the Math Applications, Methods, and Specialist pathways?

These are the 3 main pathways:

Applications: Focuses on the practical applications of mathematics, suitable for majors that do not require in-depth mathematics.

Methods: Includes Calculus and Statistics, serving as a prerequisite for many university courses such as science, commerce, and health.

Specialist: Is the highest level, intended for majors in engineering, physics, and mathematics. Students must study this concurrently with Methods.

How is the WACE score calculated?

The final score for each WACE subject is typically calculated based on 50% from school-based assessments throughout the academic year and 50% from the final external examination organized by the WACE board. This demands consistent effort throughout the year.

Is the WACE qualification recognized by universities outside of Australia?

Yes. The WACE is a widely recognized international qualification. Good results in Math Methods and Specialist are highly regarded by top universities in the UK, US, Canada, and many other countries.

How does Intertu help students choose the right WACE Math pathway?

The counseling team at Intertu will have a thorough discussion about the student's ability, interests, and intended university major. Based on that, we will advise on the most suitable Math pathway (Applications, Methods, or Specialist) to optimize the chances of getting into the desired major and university.

The WACE exam has a calculator-free section. How does Intertu provide support?

Our learning pathway always ensures the building of a solid foundational mathematical skill set. Teachers will train students in mental math, paper-based calculations, and the use of graphing calculators, helping them to be confident in all sections of the exam, with or without technological support.
