Communication of
Mathematical Information
Effective communication of
mathematical ideas and reasoning to
develop mostly logical arguments,
including proof in applied and
theoretical contexts.
Mostly accurate use of appropriate
notation, representations, and
terminology.
Appropriate communication of
mathematical ideas and reasoning to
develop some logical arguments,
including attempts at proof in applied
and/or theoretical contexts.
Use of generally appropriate
notation, representations, and
terminology, with some inaccuracies.

Attempted communication of
emerging mathematical ideas and
reasoning
Limited attempt to use appropriate
notation, representations, or
terminology, and with limited
accuracy.
TRIGONOMETRIC PRELIMINARIES
Mathematical
Knowledge and
Skills and Their
Application
Questions 1-3
provide opportunities
to complete routine
questions that
require selection and
use of mathematical
algorithms,
techniques, and
proof.

Communication of
Mathematical
Information
Provides the
opportunity to
communicate
mathematical ideas
and reasoning while
developing a logical
argument, and
sustaining it in part ii)
by the direction given
(i.e. hence).
Mathematical
Knowledge and Skills
and Their Application
Provides the
opportunity to
demonstrate all three
specific features of this
criterion. Question 5
assesses the same
knowledge as question
4 iii) but with less
guidance, therefore
demonstrating
application of
knowledge and skills in
a theoretical context.

Mathematical
Knowledge and Skills
and Their Application
Routine problems that
require selection and use
of mathematical
definitions, techniques.
Communication of
Mathematical
Information
Use of appropriate
mathematical notation,
representations, and
terminology.

Mathematical
Modelling and
Problem solving
Question 7 c) is the
culmination of a series
of investigative steps,
in which the student is
asked to generalise the
earlier results and thus
develop a model. This
could also be
addressing the
development of a
conjecture.
Mathematical
Modelling and
Problem solving
Provides the
opportunity to apply a
given model and
interpret the
mathematical results in
the context of the
problem. A correct
answer to part c) that
finds the exact time
demonstrates the
development of the
mathematical results to
a problem set in an
applied context.
