| 4 credits externally assessed and 13 credits internally assessed. | ||||
| Costs: | ||||
| Approximately $35 for workbooks. A Casio fx9570 (or fx 9560) graphics calculator is recommended. Graphics calculators can be hired from school for a cost of $30 for the year. Students wishing to hire a graphics calculator must fill out the form available at student services. | ||||
| Prerequisites: | ||||
| Students who have historically been successful on this course have a good understanding of making mathematical calculations, a foundation in algebra and are able to write statistical reports using precise mathematical language. This means that students should have achieved higher for all of AS 91944 Explore Data, AS 91945 Mathematical Methods and the end of year algebra exam AND Merit or higher for the end of year examination Students who do not meet these criteria may be considered under discussion with the Head of Faculty. |
||||
| Learning Strategies: | ||||
| Students will learn through utilisation of a range of different learning strategies that include: investigations and discovery learning, group work, directed teaching, practice tasks, regular formative and summative assessment. | ||||
| Main Areas of Study: | ||||
| This course will lead into level 3 mathematics and level 3 statistics and so will cover a range of topics from trigonometry to statistical inference. At least two of the standards on offer are written statistical reports. The external examination is in 'Probability' - having a graphics calculator will be a significant advantage for students in this examination. | ||||
