Level 1 Mathematics

Course Description MAT100

Students taking this course will be prepared for those Level 2 courses that require some mathematics with a statistical and applied mathematical focus, such as Geography and Biology. It is a course that can provide students who are not mathematics specialists the chance to focus on their preferred subjects, while still enabling progress in general mathematics and providing a pathway to a similar course at Level 2 and then Level 3.

Topics covered: 

1.2 Use mathematical Models to explore problems that relate to Life in Aotearoa New Zealand or The Pacific region (5 credits - Internal)

1.3 Interpret and apply mathematical and statistical information in context (5 credits - External)

1.1 Explore data using a statistical enquiry process (5 credits - Internal)

Assessment

In class tests, NCEA two internals and one external assessment.

Course contributions

Students are asked to contribute $tbc  towards the cost of write-on student workbooks, and access to the online Education Perfect website.

Course Description MAT101

Students taking this course will be prepared for Numeracy. It is a course that can provide students who are challenged by Mathematics as a subject. Students focus on gaining the 10 credits needed for Numeracy. It is not likely that these students will continue with Mathematics, although a student who has performed exceptionally well can discuss this possibility with the HOD.

Topics covered: 

Numeracy

1.2 Use mathematical Models to explore problems that relate to Life in Aotearoa New Zealand or The Pacific region (5 credits - Internal)

Course Description MAT102

This course is suitable for those students who have experienced significant success in Mathematics in their junior years.   It provides the basic topics required for boys to gain a breadth of knowledge so that they can progress in a variety of directions mathematically.  The focus is on working with an able group of boys to reach Merit and Excellence levels in grades.  

Topics covered: 

1.2 Use mathematical Models to explore problems that relate to Life in Aotearoa New Zealand or The Pacific region (5 credits - Internal)
