« Back to Mathematics and Statistics
Mathematics is more than just numbers. It is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space and time. Statistics focuses on patterns and relationships in data. Ākonga are equipped with powerful communication and problem solving tools for investigating, interpreting and making sense of the world. Using symbols, graphs and diagrams to investigate patterns and relationships, ākonga model real-life and hypothetical situations in a range of contexts: social, cultural, scientific, technological, health, environmental and economic. Mathematics and Statistics develops the ability to think creatively, critically, strategically and logically. Ākonga also learn to structure, organise, process and communicate information.
This course takes a number of achievement standards from the Calculus and Statistics courses and creates a blended course. The focus of this course is on linear programming, networks, calculus and trigonometry, with ākonga also having an opportunity to develop statistical and probabilistic skills encountered in time series, statistical reports, bivariate analysis and statistical inference.
Ākonga can select from the following achievement standards to a maximum total of 24 credits.
A minimum of 12–14 NCEA Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics credits or equivalent.
