L1 Mathematics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Yamamoto.
NCEA Level 1 Mathematics (1MATH)
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. These situations are drawn from a wide range of social, cultural, scientific, technological, environmental, and economic contexts.
This course will provide a strong foundation for the skills needed to study mathematics at higher levels of the mathematics curriculum. It will provide the opportunity to gain the numeracy qualification, via the new US32406, or from 10 achievement standard credits.
This course covers strands at levels 5 and 6 for the mathematics curriculum.
