Glenfield College
10 Mathematics
Course Description
Year 10 Mathematics
Mathematics and Statistics is a key component of the New Zealand Curriculum. By studying its principles, students gain the analytical and problem-solving skills necessary for future success. Studying Mathematics helps students recognise patterns and create models. Mathematics is compulsory in Years 9, 10 and 11, but optional in Years 12 and 13.
In Year 10 students will continue to build on their knowledge of the number and algebra, geometry and measurement and statistics strands of the NZ curriculum.
The focus will be on using the skills they have learnt to solve increasingly complex problems, developing the depth of their understanding of key concepts and building their confidence with explaining and justifying their solutions.
The assessment tasks in Year 10 reflect the types of experiences the students will have in their NCEA courses. The students will develop confidence with using appropriate technology and understanding success criteria so that they are well-prepared for success in Level 1.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
All students in Year 10 should bring their own calculator to every lesson. Any scientific calculator that has sin, cos and tan buttons will be sufficient for use in Year 10 Maths.
Stationery required for this course: 2 x 1J5 exercise books, 1 x 40 page clear file. We recommend the Casio FX82Au+112 calculator.
