Chances of Occurance - Mathematics & Statistics

Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Ms M. Yelkur.

Optimisation -

Mathematics and statistics have a broad range of practical applications in everyday life, in other learning areas, and in the workplace.

  • Provide sufficient scope for students to demonstrate and develop their own thinking. 

  • Students need to make their own decisions about what to do and how to solve
    problems. 

  • It is likely that the opportunity for students to demonstrate all levels of thinking
    will be compromised.

  • The learning in the module gives you the fundamentals of business aspects
    such as decision making, planning, production, transportation, technology and
    other issues, either to maximise the income or minimise the costs of a production scheme. In the real world the problem is to find the maximum profit for a certain production. Some areas of application for linear programming are  food and agriculture, engineering, transportation, manufacturing and energy.

  • Also the learning in this module helps you develop the ability to use the Statistics Inquiry Cycle to develop Business Management skills.

Remember by selecting this  module you are investing your time to optimise your Maths learning opportunities.
By studying mathematics and statistics, you develop the ability to think creatively, critically, strategically, and logically.

The standards offered are correct at the time of writing. These are subject to change depending on student selections.

We endeavour to run all courses but are subject to minimise class sizes. Maximum class sizes apply. Once a course is full alternative selections are needed.

Course context or content may change by the start of the year.

Once a student makes their selections and confirms these, any changes must be accompanied by a letter of support from Whanau and are subject to available spaces in courses. 

All Junior Bilingual students must select the literacy and numeracy modules in the language of their pathway each trimester and one other integrated language module  (3 out of 4 of their modules must be bilingual).

All senior Bilingual students must take all modules available in the language of their pathway.
