Year 12 Mathematics Calculus
12MATA Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs V. Tupou.
This is a 18-credit course covering Algebra and Calculus.. It is a mostly theoretical Level 2 course in Mathematics, which involves considerable algebraic content and is designed to lead into Level 3 Mathematics in Calculus or Statistics or BOTH. Success in this course is largely dependent on the students' commitment to the work required in class and their homework. The Mathematical skills necessary for this course are learnt through practice and more practice. For entry into Level 2 Mathematics Advance students must have obtained 14 credits from Level 1 Mathematics standards, including Achievement Standard 91027 (MATS 1.2 (MCAT).
Success in this course is largely dependent on their regular attendance at school, commitment to the work required in class and homework. The mathematical skills necessary for this course are learned through practise and more practise. It is not sufficient to do afew problems in class and then stop. Regular revision is one of the keys to success in this course. Preferably, students need to go over the work that they learnt in the classroom every night.
