11MATE

Level 1 Mathematics & Statistics Enrichment

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Higgins.

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 is an enrichment course with a focus of extending students understanding. It is expected that students have a good understanding of algebraic processes, an interest in learning Mathematics and Statistics and a willingness to develop their understanding further with additional work set as homework.

This course is recommended for students progressing on to 12MATE.

Those students who successfully complete this course will have opportunities to take Level 2 mathematics courses 12MATE or 12MATP.

A graphics calculator is essential for this course.

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