Course Description 

Students taking this course will cover the aspects of Mathematics as set for Curriculum Level 5, with extension into Level 6 as appropriate. The students will be entered in the Numeracy NZQA Exam, and in the first two terms the focus is on preparation for this assessment. The students will use a variety of learning methods, alongside teacher led discussion and individual student work. Students will experience work online using Education Perfect and other web resources. Our intention is to develop excellent independent working habits, an enquiring mind and a curiosity for the mathematical modeling of the universe around us. At Year 10 a greater emphasis is placed upon independent student work, with the use of Google Classroom and other such platforms.
