Year 9 Mathematics

Course Description

Head of Faculty/Teacher in Charge: Mr C. Alino.

In Year 9 Maths you will study across all strands of the subject: Number, Algebra, Statistics, Measurement, and Geometry. There will be group work as well as some self-directed online studying alongside more traditional ways of learning.  

This course follows the National Mathematics Curriculum at Level 3/4/5. During the year students will study units covering six strands of the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum, with the aim of students reaching level 4 and above of the curriculum. This course is a core subject and will be added to your timetable automatically.

Calculator work is introduced and each student should have a scientific calculator with a fraction key. They should also have a ruler.

Pathway

Assessment Information

Students are assessed using paper and computer tests, projects, investigations, and assignments.

Disclaimer

Please note that courses will go ahead only if student numbers, staffing, and timetabling allow it.  Where a subject is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient numbers or resources to create an extra class, a ballot system may be applied.  

Costs

The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2025, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
