NCEA Level 2 Mathematics with Statistics
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr S. English.
This course continues to develop the mathematical skills and understanding from the previous year's work. This course includes new concepts such as Probability Distributions.
This course will continue to develop your problem solving and logical thinking skills, which are needed to be able to solve unfamiliar practical and mathematical problems.
This course covers the strands of Mathematics Number, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics and Mathematical Processes. The course will be accessed by internal assessment with the opportunity to sit one externally assessed standard.
Entry into this course is at the discretion of the Head of Mathematics.
