Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Lee.

11MAT - Mathematics Dilworth Diploma

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 and create models to represent both real-life and hypothetical situations. 


Topics:


Students will learn about  Number, Geometry and Trigonometry, Measurement, Statistics, Probability, Algebra and graphs.
