MAT101

Level 1 Mathematics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr T. Montgomery.

This achievement standards course enables students to develop an all-round knowledge of mathematics.

There are 4 Achievement Standards that are assessed during the year worth 5 credits each.  Two of these will be assessed internally and two externally.

Topics covered: Exploring data using a statistical enquiry process, Using mathematical methods to explore problems that relate to life in Aotearoa or the Pacific, Interpret and apply mathematical and statistical information in context, and Demonstrate mathematical reasoning.

Many careers require a good higher level of mathematical ability, with some success at Level 2 mathematics as a minimum,  This course is a pre-requisite for the MAT201 course in Year 12, so this course is recommended for all students who have already passed the Numeracy requirement for NCEA.

Recommended Prior Learning

Pre-Requisite: Students should be looking to be achieving at level 5 of the curriculum by the start of the year.
