MAT101

Level 1 Mathematics 101

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. MacEwan.


Mathematics 101


This course aims to give students the necessary mathematical skills and background to continue with Mathematics at Level 2, as well as to further develop logical thinking and problem solving techniques. 

This course is designed around the Level 5/6 of the Mathematics Curriculum. Students will be studying towards mathematical knowledge and uses for techniques learned. The course has a lot more practical subject matter than the Abstract Course. The students will engage in an internal Achievement Standard based on Mathematical Methods. 

Please be aware that if you are intending taking Mathematics based courses at University then you should be looking at AMAT101. If you need help choosing your course please talk to your Yr 10 Mathematics Teacher or see Mrs MacEwan.

There is an expectation that all students will have access to their own device and calculator.  We recommend the Graphics Calculator Casio FX9860.
