CURRICULUM FOR THE COMMON CORE SUBJECT OF MATHEMATICS (MAT1-04)

Competence aims after 1T-Y - Vg1 vocational education programme

Numbers and algebra in practice

• interpret, process and assess the mathematical content in various texts
• evaluate, select and use mathematical methods and tools to solve problems from different subjects and social areas and reflect on, evaluate and present solutions in a purposeful manner
• calculate with powers with rational exponents and numbers in scientific notation, algebraic expressions, formulas, expressions with brackets and alphanumerical rational and square expressions, use quadratic equations to factor algebraic expressions
• convert a practical problem into an equation, an inequality or an equation system, solve it with and without using digital tools, present and provide rationale for the chosen solution and assess the validity of the solution

Geometry

• elaborate on the definitions of sine, cosine and tangent and use trigonometry to calculate length, angles and area of triangles
• use plane geometry to analyse and solve composite theoretical and practical problems connected to lengths, angles and areas
• make and use sketches and drawings to formulate and solve problems and to present and provide rationale for chosen solutions, with and without using digital tools

Functions

• make, interpret and explain functions that describe practical questions, analyse empirical functions and find expressions for an approximate linear function, with and without using digital tools
• explain the concept of functions and be able to convert between different representations of functions
• calculate zero, minimum gradient, intersection and average rate of change, find approximate values for instantaneous rates of change and provide practical interpretations of these aspects
