Y10MATH

Year 10 Mathematics

Course Description

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

In Year 10 Maths you will study across all strands of the subject: Number, Algebra, Statistics, Measurement, and Geometry. It will also include NCEA Numeracy preparation.  It will cover the six strands of the New Zealand Mathematics curriculum with the aim of students reaching level 5 and above of the curriculum. There will be a lot of group work as well as some self-directed online studying alongside more traditional ways of learning. 

How you perform in Year 10 will determine your Maths Pathways in the Senior School. A Scientific calculator with a fraction key will be needed along with a ruler. Students are assessed using tests, problem-solving tasks, and assignments. 

This is a compulsory core subject and will be added to your timetable automatically. 

Pathway

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.
