Junior Mathematics Senior Mathematics Student Work

The Mathematics Department provides courses at all year levels of the school. Junior classes at years 9 and 10 prepare students for the NCEA level one standards attempted at year 11. Less able students are streamed for extra assistance.

At year 11 there are 3 courses offered. Most students attempt 24 credits at level 1 of NCEA, in the 11MAT course. Students who have struggled with Algebra attempt 17 credits at level 1 of NCEA in the 11ALM (alternative Maths) course. Less able students attempt up to 14 credits, including some unit standards in the 11MAP (Maths Applied) course.

At year 12 there are 3 courses offered with the same aims as the 3 courses at year 11.

At year 13 there are 5 courses offered. The Maths with Calculus and the Statistics and Modelling courses are both at NCEA level 3 and enable students to continue their studies at tertiary level. There are opportunities for high achieving students to attempt the level 4 (Scholarship) exams in both of these subjects, with extra tutoring. There are 2 further courses in these two disciplines, with a revision segment taken before the level three content, and one standard not taught.
The Maths Applied 13MAP course offers an opportunity for students to continue to study applications of Mathematics and gain credits at NCEA level 1 and 2.
