Key skills and applications with emphasis on Algebra, Number and Problem Solving.
What skills will I learn?
- Number
- Geometry and Geometric Reasoning
- Pythagoras and Trigonometry
- Measurement
- Algebra
- Statistics and Probability
- Problem Solving Strategies and Skills
How will I learn?
I will be expected to participate in classroom activities and discussions and to complete assigned class work, homework and projects. I will be necessary for me to purchase a Workbook ($25), a scientific calculator and other necessary mathematical equipment, and to participate in the Australian Mathematics competition ($5).
What should I already have done? (Pre-requisites)
I must have completed my Numeracy credits and have agreement from my Year 10 Mathematics teacher that this course is appropriate for me.
Where does this lead?
NCEA Level 2 Mathematics
