Level 2 Mathematics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Taiuru.
This course continues on from 11MAT and focuses on more advanced skills in Algebra, Trigonometry and Probability that are needed for further study in Level 3 Mathematics.
This course leads on to any of the Level 3 course offerings, but particularly L3CAL (Mathematics with Calculus).
L2MAT is often a minimum requirement for other tertiary/vocational courses.
What should I have already done?
This course is designed for students who have achieved well in 11MAT, who are confident in their algebra ability and who wish to continue on to Level 3 Mathematics, particularly L3CAL (Mathematics with Calculus) and/or L3STA (Mathematics with Statistics).
