Year 11 Maths Methods - Lesson Collection (Nelson WA Maths Aligned)

A collection of PowerPoints covering both Unit 1 and 2 of the MATHEMATICS METHODS curriculum.

Each PPTX is aligned to an exercise in the Nelson WA Maths Methods textbook and is designed to introduce a topic then lead students to independent work. They can be used as ready-to-go lessons or adapted for your own needs.
‎
Includes:

• 53 editable PowerPoints
• Clear explanations with animations
• Example questions for teacher demonstration
• Custom diagrams
• Animated slides
• Consistent layout
  ‎
  ‎
  They are based on the Western Australian Curriculum (WAC) but can be easily adapted to other state’s curriculums.
  ‎
  This is the result of my work for 2026 school year. In sharing this collection, I hope it can reduce the workload for other teachers.
  ‎
  SCSA is currently reviewing the Mathematics Methods ATAR syllabuses, so these lessons may need to be edited in the future.
