11MATS

Level 1 Mathematics & Statistics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Higgins.

ALL STUDENTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY PUT INTO 11MATS AND WILL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEIR MATHS TEACHER ABOUT THE PREFERRED COURSE WHICH THEY WILL BE MOVED INTO LATER IN THE TERM

The Year 11 Mathematics course covers Level 6 of Mathematics and Statistics in the New Zealand Curriculum document. As Year 11 students, you will be studying towards NCEA Level 1.  The aim of this course is to provide a firm basis for any mathematical work undertaken in Year 12 and higher levels and also to encourage the development of mathematical processes. 

Students in this course will be building knowledge about number, algebra, measurement, space, statistics, and probability, and drawing on the practices of mathematics and statistics.

They will understand 

  • The world is full of patterns and structures that we use mathematics and statistics to understand.
  • The world is characterised by change and variation that we use mathematics and statistics to understand.
  • Mathematical and statistical logic and reasoning enable us to identify and explain relationships and to justify conclusions.
  • The interface between mātauranga Māori and mātauranga mathematics and statistics offers opportunities for insights that uphold the integrity of each knowledge system.
  • Mathematics and statistics have a continuous, evolving human history.

This course is designed for students who gain success in US Numeracy in Year 10 and who plan to follow a Statistics pathway in years 12 and 13. Students who are more confident with algebraic processes should take 11 MATP.

Those students who successfully complete this course will the have opportunity to take Level 2 mathematics course 12MATS. They will not be eligible for 12MATP or 12MATE.

This course is a prerequisite for Year 12 Mathematics and Statistics NCEA Level 2.

A graphics calculator is recommended for this course and will be essential for students moving on to year 12 Maths courses.

The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
