L2 Mathematics and Statistics
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr N. McDermid.
This course is intended for those students who do not intend to take L3 Statistics or L3 Calculus. However, if you do particularly well in this course, there may be the possibility of taking L3 Mathematics and Statistics.
The course focuses on Internal Assessment with less Algebra than L2MATH and less writing than L2STAT. It will be useful for students interested in careers in Trades, Armed Forces or maybe Teaching to name a few.
Students can gain up to 16 credits. Students will be assessed to L2 Mathematics and Statistics Achievement Standards. Assessment is entirely to internally assessed standards.
Required Prior Learning
Students MUST have achieved at least 14 credits in NCEA L1 Mathematics and Statistics Standards. Students also need the approval of the HOD.
Subject Costs
The optional Learning Workbooks are highly recommended. Each one relates to a standard that the students are sitting. The TOTAL cost of these booklets is $35. You will be given the opportunity to purchase a set of these ESA Learning Workbooks at the start of the year.
