[VCE Maths] Further Maths and CAS

[Steve Swenser]

Heidi,

We're using TI-89 Titanium calculators in all of our Year 11 courses. Next
year the teaching of all of our VCE maths subjects will be supported by this
calculator.  

We are using the Essential textbooks because, at the end of last year, they
were the only series that offered support for the TI-89 in every course.
Your choice is greater.

We find that the CAS calculators help our Year 11 General Maths students.
They enable them to work through difficult problems without becoming bogged
down by arithmetic errors. In turn, this gives students greater confidence
to persevere with difficult problems.
