Course description:
This course has less focus on Algebra and is assessed mainly through internal assessments. Through studying Mathematics and Statistics, you will have an opportunity “to develop your ability to think creatively, critically, strategically and logically.” The tools acquired in this course “have a broad range of practical applications; they are used in other learning areas and in many work places.” (NZC 2007)
In this course, your mathematical knowledge and skills are consolidated and extended. You will learn to interpret data, communicate clearly, think logically, look for patterns and solve problems.
Course of study:
As a Level 1 Mathematics student, you will study concepts and skills connected within and across the following strands:
Number and Algebra.
Geometry and Measurement.
Statistics.
Costs:
Homework book, workbook and study guides: up to $50
Graphics Calculator: Casio fx-8200AU (approx $80) or Casio fx-9860GIII (approx $150) or similar
Entry criteria:
Entry into this course will be based on your Year 10 Mathematics results and class placement into the appropriate course (Iota or Rho) is at the discretion of the HOD Mathematics, in consultation with your Dean.
Future pathways:
This course is a pre-requisite for the Level 2 Mathematics course and possibly the Level 3 Statistics course at Dio.
