Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. MacEwan.

Numeracy 101


NUM101 is a required course for anyone who does not have the numeracy corequisite. From 2023 you must have Numeracy in order to achieve Level 1, 2 or 3 in NCEA. 

The course is designed to help prepare students to gain Numeracy. Numeracy is being able to apply knowledge to everyday situations and decision-making.

For Year 12 and 13 students, this will be a sixth subject which will drop to a study once they have passed the Common assessment task offered in Term 2 and Term 3.

For Year 11 students, once they gain Numeracy they will work on Financial Literacy Unit standards or other Achievement standards.

A calculator is expected in class for this course. A scientific calculator is acceptable.



Recommended Prior Learning

Students will be placed by the HOD in the Level 1 Mathematics course. This will be in conjunction with the students wishes and needs and what best suits the individual. A conversation should happen between the student and their Yr 10 teacher.

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

There is an optional numeracy books students can purchase.
