L2 Mathematics with Statistics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Smith.

Level 2 NCEA Mathematics with Statistics presents a significant step up in difficulty compared to Level 1 Mathematics and demands consistent effort both inside and outside of class. The course covers four internally assessed standards, encompassing topics such as Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, Multivariate analysis, and Networks. In addition, there is one externally assessed standard focusing on Probability.

Successful completion of this course is required for admission into Level 3 Statistics, and students are advised to have a graphical calculator at their disposal to aid their studies.


Prerequisites

14 Level 1 Mathematics credits, including 4 credits from the externally assessed standard AS91037, or by negotiation with the HOD.

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

Possession of a scientific calculator (approximately $20) is essential for this course. Casio FX-9750GII is recommended.
Stationery required for this course: 2 x 1J8 exercise books, 1 x 40 page clear file.
