Year 10 Mathematics/Pāngarau
MAT010 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs L. Bowater.
Our junior courses are based on the study of the three strands of Mathematics and Statistics:
• Number and Algebra
•Space (Geometry and Measurement)
• Statistics
In studying these strands, and the connections between them, students develop the ability to think creatively, critically, strategically and logically. They learn problem-solving skills and how to interpret and communicate the solutions to these problems. All the courses at the junior level prepare the students for further study in the Senior school, including the achievement of the numeracy requirements at NCEA Level one. These courses' teaching incorporates the values and key competencies as outlined in the NZ Curriculum.
Homework is 1 - 1.5 hours weekly.
Students who are continuing to progress towards curriculum level 4P at the end of their Year 9 may be placed in NUM010 instead of MAT010 by their Year 9 Mathematics teacher.
