NCEA Level 1 Mathematics (with Algebra)

Kei hopu tōu ringa ki te aka tāepa, engari kia mau ki te aka matua.

Cling to the main vine, not the loose one.

Akōnga will engage in learning across all areas of mathematics and statistics - number, algebra, space, measurement, statistics, and probability - and apply their skills to model, analyse, and interpret the world around them.  They will learn to make sense of observations and patterns, interpret and use mathematical symbols and displays, and communicate their findings appropriately.  Through a range of contexts relevant to rangatahi in Aotearoa, students will learn to investigate, critically evaluate information, and make informed decisions.  They will be encouraged and enabled to move beyond a compartmentalised understanding of mathematics and approach problems from different perspectives, with multiple methods.  This course will also extend students' algebra skills.
