Mathematics

MATHEMATICS:  

CODE: 11MAT

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:  Completion of the Year 10 Mathematics programme.  Students should be achieving at Level 4/5 or higher across their Year 10 Mathematics assessments.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  Students will develop their skills in numeric reasoning, algebraic manipulation, equation solving, measurement, algebraic patterns, graphing, geometric reasoning, trigonometry, statistical processes, and probability. The course will be assessed using a range of tasks including an external Achievement Standard. Those students who have not yet achieved the numeracy corequisite for NCEA will also be assisted to prepare for the Numeracy Common Assessment Activity (CAA). It is expected that students have their own scientific calculator. If you are buying a new calculator you should consider investing in a graphics calculator if you intend to study Mathematics at Level 2.

COURSE CONTRIBUTION:   Homework books, expected cost $17. 

NEXT STEP:  Mathematics 2MAX or 2MAT

MATHEMATICS AND NUMERACY:

CODE: 11MAN

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:  Completion of the Year 10 Mathematics programme.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  Students will develop their skills to access, use, interpret and communicate mathematical and statistical ideas.  Key topics include: number, measurement, geometry, statistics, probability, and graphing. The course will be assessed using a range of tasks including an internal Achievement Standard. For students who have not met the Numeracy Corequisite for NCEA, the initial focus will be preparing for the Numeracy Common Assessment Activity (CAA), which will give them foundational numeracy to enable them to engage in further learning, life, and work. It is also expected that students have their own scientific calculator. If you are buying a new calculator you should consider investing in a graphics calculator if you intend to study Mathematics at Level 2.

COURSE CONTRIBUTION: A Numeracy Essentials Workbook; expected to cost $17.  

NEXT STEP: Mathematics 11MAT or 2MAT.
