NCEA Level 2 Mathematics General

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Drew McWhinnie.


This course includes a blend of Mathematics and Statistics, with all standards assessed internally. 

We will complete research on a statistical comparison, develop a purpose statement and question, analyse the data, supported by NZGrapher software, and then write a conclusion to summarise your findings and answer your question. 

You will design and administer a Questionnaire and your findings will be presented in a report which includes a reflection on the process. 

You will extend your understanding of algebraic processes by learning about Coordinate Geometry, and gain a deeper understanding of Probability by using simulations.

There will be one external assessment related to probability methods.


Recommended Prior Learning

You should have Achieved at least 14 credits from Level 1 Mathematics standards. Final entry is subject to Head of Department approval.

Course Costs

Students will also need to purchase 2x 1E8 exercise books.
A Casio Graphics Calculator FX9750GII, although not compulsory, is highly recommended for this course.
