Level 2 - Mathematics and Statistics (Internal Course)
Course Description
This course will be more relevant to learners who want to keep pathways open upon leaving school that may require a foundation in both mathematical and statistical topics, and that is assessed entirely internally.
This course seeks to enable students to:
- Further develop their understanding of the statistical enquiry cycle
- Plan investigations in forming and answering statistical questions
- Analyse data, communicating evidence from displays to reach a statistical conclusion
- Develop skills in structuring and organising by carrying out methodology accurately
- Develop a variety of approaches to solving problems involving mathematics
- Enhance the tools, skills, understanding, and attitudes required in future careers
Pre-requisites
Entry is at the discretion of the Head of Faculty.
Students choosing this course will be expected to have a minimum of Mostly at the expected level grades for linear algebra, space and either statistics and probability skills or exploration.
Course Specific Costs
$50 - consumables and workbooks
A graphics calculator is a requirement
Pathway
Further study and careers in mathematics and statistics are in many sectors, such as commerce, science, medicine, government departments, information management, quality improvement, and insurance. Most industries regularly require data analysis and research.
