Mathematics

In Year 11 all students are required to undertake a Mathematics course as part of their learning programme. Two different options are available to cater for the interests and aspirations of individual students.

Students will select one of the following:
• A – Alternative Mathematics
• B - Mathematics

Alternative Mathematics (11AMAN)

Qualification
NCEA Level 1

Course Outline
If you find Mathematics challenging in Year 10, this is the course for you. It will increase your confidence and skills, you will gain recognised NCEA credits and you will be able to meet numeracy requirements for NCEA. All standards contribute to numeracy for NCEA Level 1.
11AMA progresses to 12AMA and 13AMA.
13AMA enables students to proceed to tertiary statistics study because it offers only recognised standards from the Statistics and Modelling course and meets tertiary statistics prerequisite.
