Level 2 Mathematics with Statistics - Extension

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss B. Alkhudairi.

Level 2 Mathematics with Statistics Extension

Students will complete Level 2 Achievement Standards in Simulations, Inferences, and Probability. Students will also complete three Level 3 papers in Experiments (internal), Linear Programming (internal) and Statistically Based Reports (external). 

Students develop their ability to think logically, apply skills and write statistical reports using the statistical inquiry cycle. Students will be taught all the skills necessary to achieve each standard, as well as how to put these skills into context and extend their thinking to be able to achieve at merit and excellence levels.

This course is suited to students with a strength in analysis and report writing and is designed as a preparatory course for Scholarship in Year 13.

Students in this course will need to attend the Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics examination in November, as well as the Level 3 Statistics examination.

This course leads to both Level 3 Statistics and Level 3 Statistics Extension. Both of these courses are approved subjects for University Entrance.
