Mathematics & Statistics
Document outlining 2024 Mathematics plan.
Note that levels 4 and 5 are intended to be two year programmes.
We will finishing Integration and then starting Algebra and Complex Numbers.
Algebra and Complex Numbers involves learning some trickier algebraic solving methods including higher power polynomials. It also introduces 'Imaginary' numbers and we learn to expand out basic math system to accomadate these.

The NCEA year plan is as follows:
- Pākoki | Trigonometry - internal assessment 91575 4cr, test date around week 6
- Pārōnaki | Differentiation - external assessment 91578 6cr
- Pāwhaitua | Integration - external assessment 91579 6cr
- Tau Hiato | Complex Numbers - external assessment 91577 5cr
This is normally a full year course for students who have completed level two mathematics. It will prepare students for first year university courses in mathematics, computer science, physics and engineering as well as providing a foundation for a future studies in subjects such as biomathematics and economics.
