There are 3 important announcements today.

1. The SmarterMaths 2020 Revision Series is now available!
2. Our HSC Minimum Standards program is on track to be released mid-Term 3
3. A major new search feature will be implemented across all products in August (we think you’ll want to see this)

2020 HSC Revision Series

We realise there’s a lot of unrest out there for the class 2020 and wanted to deliver our Comprehension Revision Series early in Term 3 to provide a revision resource into the HSC exam that can be used as a coverage roadmap for some students.

This series is slightly longer than the 2019 version and provides students with around 10-12 hours of cherry-picked past exam questions by topic to ensure they cover a wide cross-section of the key areas we have identified.

We recommend motivated students aiming for a Band 5 or 6 result should attempt, carefully review and annotate what are extensive and challenging revision worksheets.

If you don’t currently subscribe to SmarterMaths, we have designated some of this revision resource for “Free Access” so you can see the quality for yourself … just click the link below:

• 2020 HSC Comprehensive Revision Series

HSC Minimum Standards

Many requests for this program have had us bunkered down to get it rolled out ASAP. The good news is that we’re on track and currently expect to deliver it around week 6 of this term.

An email that details the features of the program will be sent closer to the availability date for all schools interested. Watch this space.

Major New Search Feature

We have developed a powerful new search tool that allows you to target database questions in more granular detail.

Finding an exact past HSC question or filtering for a group of questions that test students on a specific concept is now incredibly easy, and quick!

One of the great surprises I found in developing this tool is the degree to which granular filtering can work as a powerful analysis tool. As with many features of our program, I will leave it to teachers to explore and exploit this to a much greater degree than I can currently image.

Take a look at the video below to see how it works.

If you think it’s time that your staffroom enjoyed this amazing resource, there’s 3 great reasons why Term 3 is the best time for new subscribers to join:

• HSC Bonus: Get 5 terms for the price of 4 and lock in 2020 prices (25% extra value).
  
• Budget constraints? Get immediate access for all teachers and pay at the start of 2021.
  
• The extra value extends your subscription over both the 2020 and 2021 HSC periods! This includes getting access to our hugely popular “HSC Revision Series” for your students for the next 2 HSC’s.

Purchasing SmarterMaths is great value for money at anytime, but purchasing as a new subscriber in Term 3 with our HSC bonus discount drives your precious budget dollars even further.

This is an update on developments of our Maths Standard 2 database, following on from our EXT1 and ADV updates over the past 3 weeks.

Although Std2 is now in its 2nd HSC examination year, a few points on recent database developments warrant attention.

Firstly, we have continued to research and cherry-pick questions in nearly all databases, with the most notable growth in Networks.

Secondly, NESA releases on the Advanced course provide really useful information that should be noted by all Std2 teachers, in our view. Here’s why.

There are many common content areas. If a common content question is asked in Advanced, it is highly likely to be quite a challenging question in Std2, and revision in these areas must reflect the likelihood of tougher questions.

This has implications in S4 Bivariate Data Analysis, S5 Normal Distribution, F5 Annuities and A4 Types of Relationships to name just a few topics. The NESA Advanced Maths releases help inform our database development in these areas.

Another added feature hot off the press is the introduction of paperclip icons that represent common-content. We don’t want your screen to look too busy, but thought this addition was worthwhile.

Finally, EQ-Bank Questions now also appear in Std2. This stands for “exemplar question” and represents concepts and question-types that are informed by official syllabus and topic guidance documents, but have no HSC history.

To all interested Standard2 teachers, recent developments are summarised below:

N2 & N3 Networks

• Our database has grown to now provide over 6 hours of HSC standard questions. This topic contributed an impressive 10% to the 2019 Std2 HSC paper and our database now delivers the quality, depth and variation that studying and revising it demands.
• Questions straight out of Victoria in this topic area require a significant amout of filtering and (sometimes) adjustment to fit the new HSC syllabus. We have done all that (VCAA copyright approved) and subscribers will further benefit from analysis that highlights common question types and pitfalls for each sub-topic.

F5 Annuities

• This subtopic provides a fertile common content area with the Advanced course. Past Std2 HSC questions that now represent common content with Advanced are flagged with a paperclip icon.
• NESA Advanced Maths sample exams and other exemplar questions in these common syllabus areas can also provide valuable direction for Std2 revision, in our view. Recent NESA Advanced course releases have helped inform the growth of our Std2 database.
• A case in point: We note that the 2019 HSC Std2 Annuities question required a deeper conceptual understanding than previous “Gen2” questions (mean mark 27%) and a similar question appeared in the Advanced sample HSC paper. Our database has responded to this fair warning.

S4 Bivariate Data Analysis

• The crucial areas of interpreting gradients and correlation coefficients are major themes that run through the growth of the database.
• Using the calculator “Statistics” functions (we use the fx-82 calc) grows in importance in our view. This area now has the history of a poorly answered 2019 Std2 question (mean mark 40%) and inclusion in the Advanced sample exam.
• Our database has been beefed up in this specific area. Students must be competent, and just as importantly, efficient and mistake free in executing these calculator skills to find least square regression lines and Pearson correlation coefficients.

A4 Types of Relationships

• Advanced Maths Topic Guidance releases from NESA in March have flagged that non-linear “proportional” questions that have appeared in past Std2 HSC’s are now common content. Our database has responded to this.

M1 Measurement

• Trapezoidal Rule questions now contain past HSC “Simpson Rule” questions adjusted to the new syllabus, which preserves the challenging follow-up questions that have caused major issues in the past.
• Energy and Mass database a very skinny HSC history, but has now been beefed up to just under 1 hour of HSC-standard questions.

S1 Data Analysis

• Pareto Charts (common ADV content with STD2) were examined in the 2019 STD2 HSC with a shockingly low mean mark. Numerous EQ-Bank questions now cover this area, along with the 2019 STD2 example (see “S2 Other Chart Types“).

SmarterMaths is now in a majority of NSW high schools.
