Transition Mathematics 1 (TM1)

TM1 is a course in elementary mathematics. It is designed to have the student commence work on the foundation concepts, rules and methods of basic mathematics. The main aim of this course is to provide a refresher course in those fundamentals of basic mathematics which are necessary to develop mathematics as a unified body of knowledge.

If you are using this course to meet prerequisite requirements it is necessary to obtain confirmation of their adequacy before enrolment. These courses may NOT meet prerequisite requirements of all institutions.

Some knowledge of arithmetic (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing numbers), is assumed although the rules are revised. Topics covered in the course include number types, fractions, decimals, inequalities, percentages, basic algebra, (including rules of precedence, simple factorisation, exponents (indices), scientific notation, linear equations and algebraic manipulation), and coordinate geometry of a straight line and introductory statistics. These are the concepts that form the base for the hierarchical development of mathematics.

The learning package for TM1 consists of a Course Outline, the Mathematics Learning Centre book Transition Mathematics I – Basic Concepts, together with chapter tests, progress tests and support from a tutor by telephone, letter, email or fax.

International Students

CQUniversity is a registered provider of quality education to Australian and International students and our programs are offered in accordance with the Australian Government Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000. Prior to enrolment, it is important that all prospective international students read specific program information, which is available at http://handbook.cqu.edu.au.

Candidates are required to provide evidence of sufficient competence in English to undertake this certificate. As a guide, a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TEFOL) score of 550 (computer-based score of 213) or an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6 with no individual band score of less than 5, is regarded as being an appropriate minimum level.
