Level 2 Mathematics
This Mathematics course offers an opportunity for students who are looking to gain level 2 Maths credits that are made up of a combination of Calculus and Statistics standards. The course aim is to gain a minimum of 14 credits at level 2, achieved through internal Achievement Standards and Unit Standards only. There are no external exams on this course.
Level 2 Mathematics will cover a variety of mathematical and statistical concepts, building on your algebra knowledge from Elevate with Systems of Equations, along with a statistical understanding for writing an Inference report. In addition to this, there is a focus on Household Budgets and Banking Services.
Students who do well on this course will be able to continue with Mathematics at level 3 on the 13MATH course, which is an approved course for University Entrance.
