Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr B. Coop.

Who would be interested in this course?

Year 11 students who struggled with Mathematics in Year 10 and who have yet to achieve their Numeracy. The aim of this course is to re-enliven your interest in Maths by teaching it differently and focusing on real life contexts that involve mathematics and statistics. The aim is to attain Numeracy this year.


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 that is offered in week 9 of Term 2 and possibly again in Term 4. The learning will be initially skills based, then will focus heavily on your ability to understand and interpret problems that are presented in the new Numeracy external. Once obtained, these 10 credits will enable you to receive your NCEA certificates at all levels. If you pass the Numeracy assessment at the end of Term 2, these results will not be known until August, after which time we would offer additional learning on a case by case basis. Learning will cover both the Content Ideas and Process Ideas. These are operations on numbers, mathematical relationships (graphs), spatial properties and representations (2D & 3D), location and navigation, measurement, statistics and data, elements of chance. The Process Ideas are to formulate, use and explain reasonableness.


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