Liston Level 1 Mathematics
L1MAT Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs S. Shaikh.
Recommended Prior LearningOpen 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.
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.
