Stop OverReacting - Mathematics and Chemistry

Courses Description

Head of Pathway:

Are you

  • Interested in how things react with each other? Want to experiment with different chemicals? In this course students will learn about and carry out chemical reactions.
  • Learn how to ask the right questions, use statistics and graphs to find answers, and communicate your findings effectively.
  • ‘In chemistry, we have to do a lot of maths’
  • ‘None of the maths is super complicated, but it is important that we learn the basic rules’
  • Basic chemistry requires the usage of a number of mathematical skills and concepts

This module is designed to enable and empower tamariki to make real life connections to CheMATHStry concepts.  See this link & this one too.

It is highly recommended that you choose the Chemistry/Maths module, (DyNAmIC Maths), for Trimester 1 as well.


Pathway

This module leads to Tri2 Chemistry and Mathematics & Statistics module and hence . Students are highly recommended to do (DyNAmIC Maths) in Trimester 2.
By sitting the Externals students can pursue careers that involve mathematics & Statistics and Chemistry at university level e.g. Health Sciences (pathway to medical careers in medicine).

Disclaimer

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.
