Year 10 Advanced Maths, mapped to the NSW syllabus.
The complete NSW Year 10 Advanced Mathematics course: 16 topics, 127 subtopics and 2,540 questions, every one with a fully worked solution. Authored by an experienced Australian maths teacher and aligned to the NESA Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) at Stage 5.
What Year 10 Advanced students learn in NSW
Year 10 is the second year of Stage 5 under the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022), published by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). Year 10 Advanced builds on Year 9 Advanced and prepares students for Mathematics Advanced and Extension 1 in Years 11 and 12. It takes surds, indices, quadratics and trigonometry further, and adds new Path content: logarithms, polynomials and the factor theorem, circle geometry, the sine and cosine rules, functions, hyperbolas, circles and exponential graphs, and networks.
The 16 topics below cover the three NESA strands — Number and Algebra, Measurement and Space, and Statistics and Probability — with the Working Mathematically outcome (MAO‑WM‑01) running through all of them. Each topic shows its NESA outcome codes, and every one of the 2,540 questions has a fully worked solution.

About Stage 5
Stage 5 spans Years 9 and 10. NESA does not set which topics belong to each year — schools decide how to split the content. Its outcomes are either Core, which every student studies, or Path, which schools add for students heading towards the more demanding Year 11 and 12 courses. Year 10 Advanced covers Core outcomes such as financial maths (MA5‑FIN‑C‑01 and MA5‑FIN‑C‑02) and data analysis (MA5‑DAT‑C‑01 and MA5‑DAT‑C‑02) in depth, and most of its subtopics are Path content: logarithms (MA5‑LOG‑P‑01), polynomials (MA5‑POL‑P‑01), circle geometry (MA5‑CIR‑P‑01), the sine rule, cosine rule and area rule (MA5‑TRG‑P‑01), trigonometric graphs (MA5‑TRG‑P‑02) and non-linear graphs (MA5‑NLI‑P‑01). One subtopic, basic probability, revises Stage 4 and is labelled with the Stage 4 code MA4‑PRO‑C‑01. It follows on from Year 9 Advanced Maths.

Frequently asked questions
Does Class Mathematics follow the 2022 NSW syllabus?
Yes. Class Mathematics is aligned to the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022), the current syllabus published by NESA. Every Year 10 Advanced topic maps to Stage 5 outcome codes — for example, Logarithms and Polynomials maps to MA5‑LOG‑P‑01 and MA5‑POL‑P‑01, and Trigonometry covers MA5‑TRG‑C‑01 to MA5‑TRG‑P‑02.
What is the Working Mathematically outcome (MAO-WM-01)?
Working Mathematically (MAO‑WM‑01) is the outcome that runs through every topic in the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus. It is about communicating reasoning, building fluency and understanding, and solving problems. Rather than being a separate topic, it is built into all of them, and every worked solution on Class Mathematics shows these steps.
What topics are covered in NSW Year 10 Advanced Maths?
NSW Year 10 Advanced Maths covers 16 topics across three NESA strands: Number and Algebra (algebra review, surds, earning money, straight line graphs, indices, quadratics, simultaneous equations, logarithms and polynomials, non-linear relationships, functions and graphs), Measurement and Space (measurement, trigonometry, geometric figures, circle geometry, networks), and Statistics and Probability (probability, single variable and bivariate statistics).
What is the difference between Year 10 Core and Year 10 Advanced?
Both follow Stage 5 of the NSW syllabus. Year 10 Core focuses on the Core outcomes that lead on to Mathematics Standard. Year 10 Advanced covers the Core at greater depth and adds many more Path outcomes, such as logarithms, polynomials, circle geometry and functions, preparing students for Mathematics Advanced and Extension 1.
How many topics and questions are in the Year 10 Advanced course?
There are 16 topics in NSW Year 10 Advanced Maths, divided into 127 subtopics with 2,540 practice questions — 20 in every subtopic. Every question includes a fully worked solution to support independent learning.
What is the hardest topic in Year 10 Advanced Maths?
Many students find Logarithms and Polynomials and Non Linear Relationships, Functions and Graphs the most demanding, because they are new and lead straight into Year 11. Quadratics, the sine rule and the cosine rule also need careful setting out. Regular practice with worked solutions builds confidence in all of these.
How can parents help their Year 10 child with maths?
The most effective help is regular, structured practice that follows the NSW syllabus. Parents don't need to teach the content themselves — the worked solutions guide students through each problem. Short sessions of 20–30 minutes several times a week work better than long, occasional ones.
