Mathematics Extension 1 · Full course intensive
Extension 1 rewards connected reasoning, method selection and clear mathematical communication. Students need to handle unfamiliar problems, show rigorous working and connect ideas from the Mathematics Advanced and Extension 1 courses. This workshop develops those examination decisions through guided practice.
Best for
Year 12 Mathematics Extension 1 students who want more confidence with unfamiliar problems, proof, multi-step calculus, vectors, statistics and clear working under HSC conditions.
Aligned to the 2026 HSC
Mathematics Extension 1 Stage 6 Syllabus (2017)
The 2026 HSC Mathematics Extension 1 examination is based on the 2017 syllabus. The replacement 2024 syllabus begins Year 12 in Term 4, 2026 and has its first HSC examination in 2027.

The Year 12 course
The day connects the Year 12 course with the examination skills students need to apply it.
Year 12 course
Strengthen inverse functions, inverse trigonometric functions and the relationships between algebraic, graphical and trigonometric representations in unfamiliar problems.
Key language: functions · inverse functions · inverse trigonometric functions · graphs · equations · identities
Year 12 course
Connect advanced differentiation and integration with curve behaviour, differential equations and challenging applications of calculus.
Key language: further calculus · differential equations · integration · applications of calculus · modelling · curve behaviour
Year 12 course
Develop rigorous proof methods, including induction, alongside vector techniques and clear logical communication.
Key language: mathematical induction · proof · vectors · geometrical applications · logical reasoning
Year 12 course
Practise probability distributions and sampling ideas, with attention to method selection, notation and interpretation.
Key language: binomial distribution · sampling distribution · probability · statistics · interpretation
Across the day
01 · Consolidate
Review the central ideas, notation and links across the Extension 1 and assumed Advanced course.
02 · Diagnose
Identify what is given, what is required and the most useful representation or technique.
03 · Plan
Set out a logical sequence for a proof, calculation or model before committing to algebra.
04 · Practise
Attempt objective-response, proof and multi-step open-ended questions.
05 · Check
Use feedback to improve working, notation, logic and checking habits.
Practice and feedback
Students work through objective-response and open-ended HSC-style questions. The teacher models how to identify structure, select a method, plan a proof or calculation and check the result. Students practise, compare approaches and improve their work through live guided feedback.
Recognise familiar mathematical structure inside unfamiliar wording.
Show the proof, notation and logical steps needed for a full-mark response.
Combine Advanced and Extension 1 ideas without losing the logic of the solution.
Check algebra, domains, graphs, calculator output and final answers efficiently.
Included with the workshop
Every student receives concise topic notes, worked approaches, HSC-style mixed questions, proof and calculation frameworks, checking prompts and space for full working.
A focused reference for key Extension 1 techniques and connections.
Objective-response, proof and extended problems that require real examination decisions.
Practical structures for planning a proof, setting out calculations and verifying conclusions.
Teacher modelling, live guided feedback and opportunities to compare solution paths.

Marking insights and exemplars
The day connects high-value Year 12 content and assumed knowledge, but is not a line-by-line reteaching of every syllabus dot point.
Yes. The workshop uses the Mathematics Extension 1 Stage 6 Syllabus (2017), which remains the syllabus examined for the 2026 HSC. The replacement 2024 syllabus is first examined in 2027.
Year 12 students preparing for their final school assessments and the 2026 HSC examinations.
Bring a laptop or tablet if you use one for study, writing materials, water and lunch. Your workshop resources are provided.
