12MAT - Mathematics NCEA Level 2
Course Description
12MAT - Mathematics NCEA Level 2
Aims of the Course:
Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space, and time. Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data. These two disciplines are related but involve different ways of thinking and solving problems. Both equip ākonga with effective means for modelling, analysing, and interpreting the world in which they live.
Mathematicians and statisticians use symbols, graphs, displays, and diagrams to help them find and communicate patterns and relationships. They evaluate information to make informed decisions.
This course is designed for students wishing to continue learning mathematics and statistics, but who do not plan to take Calculus or Statistics at Level 3.
Topics:
The topics for this course are drawn from both of the Calculus and Statistics programmes.
Sequences and series, Graphs, Simulations, Probability, Inference and Co-ordinate geometry.
Recommended Prior Learning
Students will have gained 15 Dilworth Diploma points in 11MAT.
