Liston College
Liston Level 1 Mathematics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Shaikh.
Liston Level 1 Mathematics (L1MAT) is a course designed to give students a sound understanding of the Mathematics skills required for the day-to-day problems encountered at home, or in the workplace, while also preparing students for future Mathematics study in Calculus and Statistics.
A combination of both internal and external assessments, the topics in this course include:
- Number and Measurement to solve problems
- Right Angle Triangles (Pythagoras and Trigonometry)
- Statistics
- Algebra Manipulation
- Algebra Graphs
After Liston Level 1 Mathematics, the subject splits into Mathematics with Calculus and Mathematics with Statistics.
For those students who wish to continue into Level 2 Mathematics with Calculus, they are required to pass both Algebra Manipulation and Algebra Graphs with a minimum of Merit Grades.
For those students who wish to continue into Level 2 Mathematics with Statistics, they are required to pass three assessments in Year 11 Mathematics, one of which must be Statistics.
Course Overview
Term 1
Number and Measurement for solving problems
Right Angle Triangles
Term 2
Right Angle Triangles (continued)
Algebra Manipulation
Term 3
Algebra Manipulation (continued)
Algebra Graphs
Term 4
Statistics Investigations (Relationship and Comparison Questions)
Recommended Prior Learning
Open Entry, however, it is recommended that students who enter this course have achieved the NCEA Numeracy corequisite, have sound number skills and a good understanding of Year 10 Algebra concepts.
Students who do not meet the requirements for this course may enter into the Year 11 Numeracy for NCEA Course.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
A graphics calculator (Casio fx9750) is essential.
Pathway
Mathematics is not a compulsory subject at NCEA Level 2.
Refer to the course descriptions for Level 2 Calculus and Statistics to see recommended levels of understanding for these courses.
