Year 13 Mathematics with Statistics
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Dr L. Sheryn.
The aim of 13MAS is to introduce and develop students’ mathematical understanding to Level 8 of the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum.
The course involves carrying out investigations of phenomena using the Statistical Inquiry Cycle, conducting experiments, and analysing exploratory data and statistical inference. There are also aspects of linear algebra that are related to inequalities and optimisation. There will also be an opportunity to work with elements of chance.
This course will be assessed through three internal standards and one external standard. To support the work towards the externals there will also be appropriate topic tests throughout the course.
Recommended Prior Learning
13MAS entry requirements are 10 credits from either Level 2 Mathematics course (12MAS or 12MAT) including Achieved or higher from any external standard (91267, 91261 or 91262)
If you wish to follow this course and you do not have the pre-requisites, you will need to discuss your options with Dr Sheryn at Subject Confirmation in January 2025.
