The VCE General Mathematics Study design specifies that students should be able to select and use appropriate technology to apply mathematics to a range of practical contexts. These skills include the ability to:

• Use a calculator for computation whenever necessary;
• Produce tables of values, graphs, diagrams or collections of data which relate to specific contexts;
• Organise and present information in a clear and useful form;
•  Interpret and discuss data produced by different technologies in various tabular, graphical  or diagrammatic forms.

Students should also know:

• Order of operations built into technology;
• Limits of settings which are required for effective use of technology; for example, viewing windows for graphs, dimensions of lists, and related menus;
• Forms of data representation using technology;
• The appropriate selection of technology for a given context.
