Recommended Prior LearningThis course is designed to meet the needs of students who have gained 10 or more Level 1 Achievement Standard credits in Level 1 Mathematics.
This Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics course is designed to give students complete flexibility over which standards they study. This course will contain 5 internal standards which will total 11 Credits. An optional opportunity to sit an external standard is available for capable students.
Each student will be on an individualised program and be able to gain credits towards Level 2 NCEA Mathematics.
Most of the assessments in this course will be done through internal Achievement Standards instead of external Achievement Standards. This is designed to reduce the pressure on students during the external examination at the end of the year.
