KAUPAPA:
Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space, and time. Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data. These two disciplines are related but involve different ways of thinking and solving problems. Both equip ākonga with effective means for modelling, analysing, and interpreting the world in which they live.
Mathematicians and statisticians use symbols, graphs, displays, and diagrams to help them find and communicate patterns and relationships. They evaluate information to make informed decisions and create models to represent both real-life and hypothetical situations. These situations are drawn from a wide range of social, cultural, scientific, technological, environmental, and economic contexts.
PREREQUISITES:
None
COURSE CONTENT:
Students in Mathematics and Statistics will:
develop mathematical and statistical reasoning, critical-thinking skills, and the capability to work through problems systematically (critical thinking includes Indigenous ways of acquiring knowledge)
develop mathematical and statistical literacy to interpret and evaluate mathematical and statistical data
use creative thinking and experimentation to further mathematical and statistical comprehension
understand how to apply mathematical methods and concepts to material problems and contexts within the world of work.
develop their ability to make meaning of mathematical and statistical symbols, equations, expressions, and graphs
explain working and reasoning when solving mathematical or statistical problems
interpret and communicate mathematical and statistical ideas to for varied purposes including solving problems.
The topics to be completed by each Year 11 class are determined by which standards will be appropriate for those particular students.
COSTS:
Students will be charged for:
Workbooks for each standard
Education Perfect Licence
Each student must have a CASIO FX9860 Graphics Calculator
