Statistics

Aims: To develop and extend mathematical and statistical knowledge, to confidently and
competently communicate mathematical and statistical ideas and to solve problems which
require several steps and integration of a variety of methods using the graphics calculator
and computer as tools.

Competencies: Problem Solving and Modelling; Communication (written and oral);
Mathematical and Statistical Technological Skills.

Pathways this course contributes towards: University courses where Level 3 Statistics will
be helpful eg Business, Commerce or Social Sciences.

Other essential information: A prerequisite is competency shown in Level 2 Mathematics
standards. There is an opportunity for subject endorsement. A graphics calculator eg Casio
fx-9750GII is required.

Leader of Learning: Mrs Costelloe
