MaffsGuru doesn't record just any maths videos. They’re clear, engaging, and designed to help you actually understand — not just memorise and hope for the best..
This is the course outline for the General Mathematics Units 1 and 2 course.
General Mathematics Units 1 and 2 are designed to suit a wide range of interests and prepare you for VCE General Mathematics Units 3 and 4. These units build on assumed skills and knowledge needed for further study in mathematics.
In Unit 1, you will study four key areas: Data Analysis, Probability and Statistics; Algebra, Number and Structure; Functions, Relations and Graphs; and Discrete Mathematics. You will learn to apply processes involving arithmetic with rational and real numbers, algebraic manipulation, equations, graphs, matrices, and geometric constructions.
In Unit 2, the focus remains on Data Analysis, Probability and Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, and Functions, Relations and Graphs, but also includes Space and Measurement. You will further develop your skills with diagrams, networks, spatial reasoning, and other problem-solving techniques.
Across both units, you are expected to use mental strategies, written methods, and digital tools confidently. You will engage with mathematical modelling, estimation, and computation, and apply technology—such as graphing software, spreadsheets, or calculators—for numerical, symbolic, statistical, financial, and geometric tasks in both learning and assessment contexts.
The award of satisfactory completion for a unit is based on whether the student has demonstrated achievement of the set of outcomes specified for the unit. Teachers should use a variety of learning activities and assessment tasks that provide a range of opportunities for students to demonstrate the key knowledge and key skills in the outcomes.
All assessments at Units 1 and 2 are school-based. Procedures for assessment of levels of achievement in Units 1 and 2 are a matter for school decision.
For this unit students are required to demonstrate achievement of three outcomes. As a set these outcomes encompass the areas of study in the unit.

Thank you so much! I have been using your videos to study for my upcoming math exam and I have never felt so confident! I have never realised how easy math really is until I have come across your channel. Now that I finally understand how to solve questions from Cambridge I no longer “despise” maths
Thank you so much for this it was easy to understand and not boring at all you made math fun for me. I love your videos
You have a special way of teaching that is so awesome ⭐️I have watched so many other videos and looked over random notes and nothing helped, until I found your video! Thank you so much, you’re a life saver!
Hii! I am a year ten student and I have upcoming exams! And I really struggle with math, however your videos have helped me understand and get a great concept of the subject (not sure if that makes total sense haha) but I just wanted to say thank you !! and I will definitely be notifying my peers about your channel!.
Lovely stuff mr maffs guru
