Overview
Te whakatere ara me te whakawhanake kahawhiri hei tautoko i te tāraitanga o āpōpō
Navigating pathways and developing agency to help shape the future
This course builds on the skills learnt in previous years by applying strategies to solve problems using a variety of number skills, extending trigonometric skills to involve three-dimensional shapes and developing more practical mathematical skills. Statistical methods are used to explore relationships and probabilities are determined in a variety of situations.
The course covers material from all strands of the curriculum with even weight given to Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics.
Problem solving, developing logic and reasoning and communication of mathematical ideas will be part of all content areas. Students are required to consider the context of problems.
What will I learn?
Final numeracy concepts for everyday life
Basic statistical analysis skills
Foundation graphing skills
Foundation trigonometry skills
What should I have done already?
There are no entry requirements for this course - you will be directed into a course by the Head of Learning Area and your teacher, based on your performance in Year 10.
COURSE OUTLINE
Assessment regulations
You will be assessed by Level 1 Mathematics and Statistics achievement standards, with credits contributing towards the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). There are a maximum of 15 Level 1 credits available. This course is eligible for a subject endorsement. Two of the achievement standards for the Level 1 Mathematics and Statistics course will be assessed internally during the year and one will be assessed in November.
There will be NO reassessment opportunity for the internally assessed standards for students who do not achieve the standard in the first attempt. If you cannot attend an assessment because of illness, you must produce a medical certificate upon your return to school and you will be expected to complete the internal assessment on the day of your return to school.
Missed internal assessments
Students who do not attend the internally assessed standards for reasons other than medical or bereavement will not be given a reassessment opportunity. If you have a genuine reason (which must be supported by a medical certificate) for not being able to complete the assessment on the day of the assessment, then you are able to apply for an extension. This should occur prior to the assessment date, not after. Approach your subject teacher and make your case. Read the NCEA Student Handbook for more detail.
Authenticity and appeals
These issues are dealt with by the college's assessment procedures. Read your NCEA Student Handbook for details.
Where does this course lead?
It is most natural to progress to L2MOD if you perform well or potentially a move into pathways could occur. High performers may be invited into the L2MAS course on rare occasions.
