Year 11 Mathematics with Statistics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Thorne.
Students will continue to develop skills within all six areas of the Mathematics Curriculum - Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Probability and Statistics; however this course has a stronger focus on Statistics with less Algebra than the Year 11 MAT General Mathematics course and the exam at the end of the year will be the report-based 1.3 Statistical Literacy external assessment.
The Statistics element of this course involves working with data, analysing graphs and making sense of statistical studies and claims.
The study and application of the mathematics curriculum will enable students to achieve at all levels of the Achievement Standards in this course. This course leads on to the Year 12 General Mathematics or Statistics course but is not suitable students wishing to progress to the Year 12 Calculus course. It is also not recommended that students intending to study Physics in Year 12 choose this course and instead select 11MAT - General Mathematics.
