Level 1 Mathematics - Modelling Problems in Aotearoa

Subject Description

This course focuses on modelling problems in Aotearoa using statistical, algebraic and graphical methods. It is best suited to students who enjoy and have some strength with working with algebraic concepts.

It offers two internal standards and one external standard:

  • 1.1 Explore data using a statistical enquiry process (Internal)
  • 1.2 Use mathematical methods to explore problems that relate to life in Aotearoa New Zealand or the Pacific (Internal)
  • 1.4 Demonstrate mathematical reasoning (External)

This course would suit students interested in the following careers; Data Science and Modelling, Computer Science, Design and Programming, Engineering, Environmental and Earth Studies, Finance and Social Sciences, Science and Technology, Education.

This course could lead to a specialism in either Mathematics or Statistics or both in year 12.

This course is best suited to students who have strong skills in Year 10 Mathematics - this means consistently working at Level 5 of the curriculum (particularly in number and algebra topics). If you are not currently at the level but are keen to pursue this area please have a conversation with your teacher and HOLA.

Your mathemathics teacher can give you advice on which year 11 course to select.
