11MAT Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs S. Pooch.
Recommended Prior LearningSuccessful completion of Year 10 Mathematics.There are four Year 11 Mathematics courses. Students are placed in the appropriate course based on their results and the standard of their work in the previous year.
Mathematics is compulsory in Year 11 and you will be placed into one of the following options dependent on achievement:
11MAG - Mathematics Numeracy
Designed for students who have difficulty with Mathematics, 11MAG is focussed on attaining Numeracy through internally assessed Achievement Standards.
The entire course is internally assessed.
11MAT - Mathematics
Students study Mathematics in the New Zealand curriculum. This course is a continuation of the study of mathematical processes, number, measurement, geometry, algebra and statistics. 11MAT is a full Year 11 Mathematics course which enables students to proceed to Year 12 Mathematics. It allows students to achieve both the 10 credits required for Level 1 Numeracy and University Entrance numeracy.
11MAX - Mathematics Extension
Students in this course cover all of the material covered in the 11MAT course. During the year students will complete one NCEA internal assessment. They also sit one externally assessed standards which is the same as the 11MAT course. Students will only sit 10 Level 1 NCEA Credits.
In addition, students in this course study the Cambridge International IGCSE curriculum and sit the IGCSE (extended curriculum) examination.
