Year 11: VCE Mathematical Methods

Listed Mathematics areas of study at Units 1 and 2, in the words of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), with the practice on this site that covers it. Checked against the source on 4 September 2026.

VCE Mathematics Study Design accredited from 2023. Each unit has four areas of study; the text of each is the study design's own.

Coverage is the percentage of listed areas of study with at least one linked practice skill; it does not measure how fully every part of an entry is practised. A skill can practise more than one areas of study, so some appear more than once below.

Unit 1

U1 AoS 1Functions, relations and graphsIn this area of study students cover the graphical representation of simple algebraic functions (polynomial and power functions) of a single real variable and the key features of functions and their graphs such as axis intercepts, domain (including the concept of maximal, natural or implied domain), co-domain and range, stationary points, asymptotic behaviour and symmetry. The behaviour of functions and their graphs is to be explored in a variety of modelling contexts and theoretical investigations.
U1 AoS 2Algebra, number and structureThis area of study supports students' work in the 'Functions, relations and graphs', 'Calculus' and 'Data analysis, probability and statistics' areas of study, and content is to be distributed between Units 1 and 2. In Unit 1 the focus is on the algebra of polynomial functions of low degree and transformations of the plane.
U1 AoS 3CalculusIn this area of study students cover constant and average rates of change and an introduction to instantaneous rate of change of a function in familiar contexts, including graphical and numerical approaches to estimating and approximating these rates of change.
U1 AoS 4Data analysis, probability and statisticsIn this area of study students cover the concepts of experiment (trial), outcome, event, frequency, probability and representation of finite sample spaces and events using various forms such as lists, grids, Venn diagrams and tables. They also cover introductory counting principles and techniques and their application to probability.

Unit 2

U2 AoS 1Functions, relations and graphsIn this area of study students cover graphical representation of circular, exponential and logarithmic functions of a single real variable and the key features of graphs of functions such as axis intercepts, domain (including maximal, natural or implied domain), co-domain and range, asymptotic behaviour, periodicity and symmetry. The behaviour of functions and their graphs is to be explored in a variety of modelling contexts and theoretical investigations.
U2 AoS 2Algebra, number and structureThis area of study supports students' work in the 'Functions, relations and graphs', 'Calculus' and 'Data analysis, probability and statistics' areas of study. In Unit 2 the focus is on the algebra of some simple transcendental functions and transformations of the plane.
U2 AoS 3CalculusIn this area of study students cover differentiation and anti-differentiation of polynomial functions by rule, different notations, and related applications including the analysis of graphs.
U2 AoS 4Data analysis, probability and statisticsIn this area of study students cover the use of lists, tables and diagrams to calculate probabilities, including consideration of complementary, mutually exclusive, conditional and independent events involving one, two or three events (as applicable), including rules for computation of probabilities for compound events.
