Year 10 Maths

Introduction

The Year 10 Mathematics course is a continuation of our Foundation Mathematics. The course aligns with Phase 4 of the refreshed NZ Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum.

The course covers the content and skills required to develop a strong foundation for success in the new New Zealand Foundational Certificate, which will begin in 2028 for students in Year 11, as well as the current Numeracy CAA, which students can sit at the end of Year 10.

The aim is to ensure students develop the mathematical knowledge, skills and confidence needed to successfully progress into the national qualifications part of their secondary schooling.
