10A (Advanced) Mathematics is a three-semester course (two lines in semester 2) building on the skills from year 9 where students start to use their mathematical skills to solve more applied problems. Although the same topics are generally covered as all year 10 classes, students studying 10A Mathematics will go into more depth and tackle more abstracted problems.

A small number of topics covering advanced year 10 curriculum concepts are only covered in the 10A course. This enables students to become confident in solving complex and unfamiliar problems which lay the foundation for year 11 and 12 Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics. In second semester, students will have the opportunity to gain 10 SACE credits for their learning and be adequately prepared with a more robust knowledge base as they spend more time unpacking trigonometry, geometry and matrices topics in preparation for these subjects.
