Year 12 Mathematics
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr T. Rout.
This course is designed for students who intend to progress on to Mathematics – 13MAT (NCEA Level Three) the following year.
The course covers these areas of learning: Graphing, Networks, Geometry, Statistics and Probability. It aims to combine some of the topics offered in the Statistics course with some of the topics offered in the Calculus course. The course aims to avoid the more difficult Algebra topics but there is still a small amount within some standards. This is a great course for students still wanting to do parts of each strand of Mathematics and Statistics.
Students who want to progress onto L3 Statistics are required to pass the Probability External which will be part of this course.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Students who do not have a Graphics Calculator will be at a significant disadvantage. The school has a limited quantity for use in class however it is HIGHLY recommended that students purchase their own.
