1MTH2

Level 1 Mathematics Demonstrate Mathematical Reasoning

Course Description


This course consists of 2 Achievement Standards that cover the key basic mathematical concepts in Statistics

Course description/aims: The aim of the course is to introduce and develop basic mathematical skills, concepts, and understandings in the  Staistics curriculum strands. 

The course objectives are that candidates will be expected to:

  • Apply mathematical skills, concepts, and understandings to familiar and unfamiliar problems arising in real and simulated situations.
  • Demonstrate the ability to select and use appropriate mathematical techniques in problem-solving.
  • Demonstrate the ability to reason logically and systematically.
  • Demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematical ideas.

The ultimate aim is to gain NCEA Level 1 and University Entrance Numeracy. The course objectives are that the candidate will be expected to:

Upon successfully completing the course of study, students may study  NCEA Level 2 Mathematics. 

As ākonga build critical thinking skills, they move from relying on their intuition, or instincts, to working systematically to solve problems, form generalizations, and reach conclusions. Critical thinking skills can be developed through engagement with information from varying sources. As ākonga grow to recognize the connections between different observations, knowledge, and processes, their capabilities in making mathematical and statistical generalizations will improve. Hononga is the concept of identifying these connections and links to reach conclusions. Te hononga can be built through talanoa and wanānga, which can be ways of making sense of observations and patterns.

Recommended Prior Learning
