Level 2 General Mathematics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Lal.
Level 2 Mathematics - General includes units of work from within the Number, Algebra, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics, and Probability strands using written methods of study. This mostly internal course, is designed for students who are interested in continuing their study in Mathematics and Statistics, however, it does not lead to Calculus (3MAC) at Level 3, due to the omission of the two Level 2 externals of Algebra and Calculus. There is one external; Probability Methods in order to enable course endorsement, and to allow possible entry into Level 3 Statistics (3MAS). Successful completion leads to Level 3 Mathematics (3MAT). Entry into 3MAS will require a discussion with the Head of Faculty.
Who would be interested in this course?
Students who have previously experienced Achievement of at least 10 credits from Level 1 Mathematics - General (1MAT) or Level 1 Mathematics - with Externals (1MAX). Or with HOD approval
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Scientific or graphics calculator is essential.
