Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Blissett.

Recommended Prior Learning

Junior Mathematics achieving at 4P or below


This course is aimed at students in Year 10 who, based on their performance in Maths thus far, need one more academic year to reach Upper curriculum level 5 which is the level required to pass the Level 1 Achievement Standards being offered in the 1MAT course. It is also a possibility for senior students who would focus on passing Numeracy using the CAA pathway.

This course will focus on the following

  • 2x Numerical skills based Unit Standards (5 credits each not Numeracy approved)
  • Numeracy co-requisite Common Assessment Activity (10 Numeracy only Credits)
  • 3x Financial Literacy Unit Standards (8 NCEA L1 credits) will also be optional for those who move through the course content quickly.

The ideal outcome for students is that they are able to work at curriculum level 4/5 or higher, attain numeracy and be ready to tackle a full achievement standards course (1MAT) the following year.
