Level 1 Mathematics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Buenaventura.

Mathematics is a mix of problem solving, logical and critical thinking. It is a key subject in today’s curriculum and the skills you learn can help you in your daily life as well as in many career opportunities including business, finance, medicine, engineering, and basic sciences. At the same time, mathematics is a self-contained subject that is worth studying simply for its beauty. This course is a mix of internal and external achievement standards leading to careers in the IT industry, engineering economics and the sciences that require more of the theoretical Mathematics, also for those that simply enjoy the challenge that Mathematics offers. The minimum Numeracy requirement for all levels of NCEA and UE is 10 credits at level 1. However, some courses at university of polytechnic may require more.
