Students who find success in Yr10 Mathematics at Curriculum Level 4A and above will be approved into this course. Alternative entry is gained by recommendation of a student's Year 10 Maths Teacher.
This course is designed for students wishing to progress in Mathematics and/or Statistics either as a study in itself, or as a help to other subjects that use/require Mathematical & Statistical reasoning and ability. Learning involves the foundation skills for Level 2 Mathematics, Calculus and Statistics.
Up to 4 of the new NCEA level 1 Achievement standards will be on offer for students with the recommendation that 3 standards make up a dull year course. All students will work through Curriculum Level 6 content that supports the 1.1 Statistics and 1.2 Mathematics internal standards. They will then pick one or both of the 1.3 and 1.4 external standards to complete for the rest of the year. Up to 20 Achievement Standard credits will be attainable by the end of the year with the recommended amount being 15 Credits.
Students who are yet to attain the Numeracy co-requisite will also be given opportunities to sit this throughout the year.
This course progresses on to Level 2 Mathematics with Flexibility.
