Year 11 Mathematics - Numeracy Booster

Year 11 Mathematics - Numeracy Booster is specifically designed for those Year 11 students who struggled with Mathematics in Year 10 and who may not yet have achieved their Numeracy, to attain it by preparing for, and sitting the new Numeracy digital external. The learning will be initially skills based, then will focus heavily on your ability to understand and interpret problems that are presented in context. Once obtained, these 10 credits will enable you to receive your NCEA certificates at all levels. Entry into the Numeracy assessment will be determined by your readiness, based on topic tests. If you pass the Term 2 Numeracy assessment, these results will not be known until late June, and if you pass, we will offer you new learning material at CL6 from the NZ Curriculum. 

Learning will cover the seven Content Ideas of operations on numbers, mathematical relationships (graphs), spatial properties and representations (2D & 3D), location and navigation, measurement, statistics and data, elements of chance. The three Process Ideas will also be covered in order to formulate an approach to a problem, use Mathematics to solve a problem and explain the reasonableness of a given approach to a problem. This course also offers the Level 2 Coordinate Geometry standard in Term 4.

This is a full year course and counts as both of your Mathematics course selections.
