NCEA Level 2 Mathematics with Algebra
Course Description
Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Ms A. Price-Williams.
This course is for students who wish to be extended in their learning of mathematics. With a focus on algebra and calculus this course allows students to develop their critical thinking and problem solving and how to apply mathematics to solve complex problems.
This course develops students higher level thinking and ability to solve problems, spot patterns and make generalisations. Students should pick this course if they wish to continue their study of maths to a higher level or have plans to go into professions involving mathematics, science or engineering.Students will be introduced to Calculus which is a very powerful tool that mathematicians use to model situations and solve problems. Students will also develop deeper understanding of algebra and how it relates to other areas of mathematics.
This course can be taken at the same time as Level 2 Statistics.
