11MAT

Year 11 Mathematics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Thorne.

11MAT is our General Mathematics programme, aimed at equipping students with the skills at Level 1 to progreess into enabling them to progress onto any of the mathematics courses on offer at Level 2 (Statistics, Calculus or General).  The study and application of the skills across the breadth of the Mathematics Curriculum - covering the Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Probability and Statistics strands andwill be at a level that will enable students to access all of the available grades in the relevant Achievement Standards. 

This course includes the Level 1 Mathematics external assessment, AS91947, at the end of the year which predominantly focuses on the Algebra and Geometry strands.

Students intending on taking Level 2 Calculus and/or Level 2 Physics in the future will find this mathematics option (11MAT) the best preparation for that pathway as opposed to Year 11 Mathematics with Statistics (11MAS)







Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

A Graphics Calculator represents a significant advantage to students on this course. The school has a limited quantity for use in class however it is HIGHLY recommended that students purchase their own. This calculuator is also essential in all options at Level 2 and Level 3 Mathematics going forwards.
