NCEA Level 3 Mathematics General
Course Description
This course includes a blend of Mathematics and Statistics Standards, with all assessed internally.
You will be required to write three statistical reports, investigating Time Series Data, Bivariate Data and Conduct an Experiment to investigate a situation using experimental design principles.
We will complete research of the context of the assessment data, develop a purpose statement and question, then analyse the data.
We will use a model to make predictions, supported by NZGrapher software, and write a conclusion to summarise findings.
Recommended Prior Learning
Students must have Achieved with Merit in at least one of 2.1 Coordinate Geometry, 2.9 Inference, 2.10 Experiments, 2.14 Systems of Equations, or 2.12 Probability and an Achievement in 2.9 Inference and a minimum of 10 Level 2 Credits.
