Course Description

This course is intended for students who have a sound knowledge of basic mathematical skills and concepts, are critical thinkers, enjoy mathematics and possess an aptitude for this subject. This course is also for students who intend to study higher academic mathematics. Students will be assessed on the application of knowledge of mathematics from level 6 of the New Zealand Curriculum, however you are reminded that knowledge from level 5 or lower is also expected, e.g. graphing knowledge within the algebra assessment. In any of the level 1 external assessments, candidates may be expected to demonstrate evidence through a simple investigation. This may involve the investigation of an algebraic, statistical, or geometric relationship, and begin with a word problem or situation.

For each lesson, every student is expected to bring to class their exercise book, pencil, blue or black biro, red biro, scientific calculator, ruler and pencil. No borrowing of equipment is allowed during assessments. All work must be done in blue or black biro, except graphs and diagrams which can be done in pencil as these are the NZQA regulations.
