NCEA Level 2 Mathematics with Calculus

Course Description

In this course, there is a major emphasis on algebraic processing and a large jump in the mathematical understanding from Year 11 to Year 12 Mathematics. 

The course covers problem-solving, algebraic processes, graphical methods and introduction to calculus including both differentiation and integration.

We will study how algebra and calculus can be used to model and solve real-life problems. 

Students will achieve competence in basic algebraic, graphical and computational skills, and develop a broad foundation for further studies in Mathematics and allied subjects.

Mathematics with Calculus is designed for students who wish to study Calculus in Year 13, but will also allow entry into Statistics. This course will provide the foundation for pathways to engineering, sciences, medicine, computer sciences and finance.
