Mathematics

Aims: To promote mathematical and statistical thinking by providing students with
knowledge of appropriate mathematical techniques to enable them to solve problems,
model situations and communicate mathematical ideas leading to multi-step problem
solving, logical reasoning and the confident communication of mathematical and statistical
ideas.

Competencies: Numeracy; Problem Solving and Modelling; Mathematical Communication;
Mathematical and Statistical Thinking; Technological Skills

Pathways this course contributes towards: Entry into any of the Level 3 Mathematics
courses. Course leads to Calculus and/or Statistics Level 3. A career pathway in engineering,
communications, health or business.

Other essential information: A prerequisite is satisfactory achievement in Year 10. There is
an opportunity for subject endorsement. This course provides an opportunity for Level One
Numeracy credits. A scientific calculator or Casio fx-9750GII is required for Level One and a
graphics calculator eg Casio fx-9750GAPLUS is required for Level Two.

Leader of Learning: Mrs Costelloe.
