Year 11 Mathematics
11MAT Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Dr L. Sheryn.
Recommended Prior LearningMathematics is compulsory in Year 11. There are no pre-requisites for entry into this course.
This course is a pre-requisite for: Level 2 Mathematics (12MAT) or Level 2 Mathematics with Statistics (12MAS)
Students are required to have a graphical calculator for this course.
The aim of 11MAT is to introduce and develop mathematical skills, concepts and understanding to Level 6 of the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum.
The course involves aspects of linear, quadratic and exponential algebra and students will investigate relationships between tables, equations, and graphs. The course also explores data using the Statistical Inquiry Cycle and demonstrating mathematical reasoning through methods involving Number, Measurement, and Geometry.
Students will be assessed with two internal NCEA assessments, as well as two algebraic and graphing school assessments that will identify strengths that will support students through Level 2 Mathematics (12MAT) or Level 2 Mathematics with Statistics (12MAS).
This is the course that most Year 11 students will follow. If you are not sure which course you will choose at university (or beyond Year 13), then this is the course for you. This will keep your options open for further study in both Mathematics and Statistics.
This course will prepare students for Mathematics or Mathematics and Statistics courses in Years 12 and 13.
