MAC2 (Level 2 Mathematics with Calculus)
Length of Course: Full year
Recommendations:
At least a Merit grade in the Level 1 external assessment 91947 "Demonstrate mathematical reasoning" is required for entry to Level 2 Calculus (or with HOF permission).
Course Content:
This course provides a foundation for further study in Mathematics and/or Statistics at Level 3 or University. The skills of Algebra are extended and applied to a range of graphing and modelling contexts. An introduction to Calculus explores rates of change and optimisation problems.
Methods of Assessment:
The three internal Achievement standards will be assessed during class time or as assignments. The two external Achievement Standards will be assessed in the NCEA examinations at the end of Term 4.
Costs:
It is recommended that students have a graphical calculator (Casio FX960GII or Casio FX960GIII) for this course, but this is not essential (approximately $130).

MAS2 (Level 2 Mathematics with Statistics)
Length of Course: Full year
Recommendations:
At least an Achieved grade in the Level 1 external assessment 91946 "Interpret and apply mathematical and statistical information in context" AND at least an Achieved grade in the internal assessment 91944 "Explore data using a statistical enquiry process"(or with HOF permission).
Course Content:
This course focuses on the statistical inquiry cycle. A lot of different contexts will be explored to develop ideas on how to collect and analyse statistical data. Topics include: experimental design, inference, Normal distribution, risk analysis and critiquing media reports.
Methods of Assessment:
Only one Achievement standard (2.12) will be assessed in the Term 4 NCEA external exam. All other assessments will be internally assessed. These will mostly involve statistical and probability experiments and writing statistical reports.
Costs:
It is recommended that students have a graphical calculator (Casio FX960GII or Casio FX960GIII) for this course, but this is not essential (approximately $130).
