This course is a pre-requisite for: Level 3 Mathematics with Statistics (13MAS).
The aim of 12MAS is to introduce and develop students’ mathematical understanding to Level 7 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 design a questionnaire and conduct a survey.
This course will be assessed through three internal standards and one external standard. To support the work towards the external examination, there will also be appropriate topic tests throughout the course.
This course is designed for students who want to further their Mathematics studies at Level 2 NCEA and will prepare students for the Level 3 Mathematics with Statistics (13MAS) course in Year 13.
If you wish to study Level 3 Mathematics with Calculus in Year 13, you should choose 12MAT instead of this course.
