Level 1 Mathematics & Statistics General

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 benefit from ensuring they have a sound grasp of basic concepts before moving forward and who need support to pass the Numeracy standard US32406: Use mathematics and statistics to meet the numeracy demands of a range of situations.

Those students who successfully complete this course will have opportunities to take Level 2 Mathematics course 12STSG.

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

A scientific 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.
