Mathematics
Level 2
10 level 1 Mathematics Credits from 11MAT. If prerequisites are not met, entry may be granted at the discretion of the HOD (Mrs Singh).
Students who find mathematics challenging, but require level 2 Mathematics credits for their pathway will be well suited for the 12MAT course. This course has been designed to deliver Achievement standards in a practical context. Students engaged in trades and/or students whose literacy skill makes a statistics course too challenging should choose this course. Students studying 12MATwill gain a solid understanding of practical mathematical concepts, which will prepare them to study 13MAT at level 3 if they wish.
Pathway towards General Mathematics
This level 2 practical Mathematics course uses Achievement standards and leans heavily towards internal assessment. Students who need a bit more time to grapple with mathematical concepts and the structure of written responses will be given the opportunity to do so in this course. This is a level 2 Mathematics course and will well prepare students for many non-mathematical careers and university courses. Students sitting this course will not be eligible to do Calculus (13MAA) or level 3 statistics (13MAT) but can do level 3 Mathematics (13MAA).
