Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Dr M. McKubre-Jordens.
This is a broad-interest course that prepares students that may leave school after Year 12 for trades, the military, polytechnic institutes, or possibly for Level 3 study in General Mathematics. Topics covered will include coordinate geometry, networks, statistical inference, and probability, and may include sequences and series, trigonometry, and systems of equations. The exact composition of the course will be determined by the teacher in consultation with the students.
An NCEA Course Endorsement is possible for this course.
Recommended Prior Learning
10 Credits of Level 1 Mathematics Achievement Standards, including AS91945 (1.2 Applied Mathematics).
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
A graphing calculator (e.g. CASIO fx-9750 or fx-9860) is highly recommended.
A BYOD device is required.
