Level 1 Numeracy

NUM100
Course Description

Level One Mathematics

Mathematics is a compulsory subject in Year 11. To accommodate the diverse needs of our learners, the Mathematics Department will provide two course options: MAT100 - Academic and NUM100, allowing students to align their studies with their career pathways. 

NUM100 - Numeracy

This course is designed to boost the confidence and problem-solving skills of students who may have faced challenges with mathematics in the past. It prepares students for the new Numeracy external assessment, which becomes a co-requisite from 2024. The curriculum will emphasise the new corequisite standards for numeracy outlined by the Ministry of Education. Furthermore, it will apply mathematics and statistics concepts to real-life situations, enabling students to utilise these skills beyond the classroom. Successful completion of this course will lead students to MAT200B - Basic course.

For any queries regarding your Mathematics course selection for the upcoming year, we encourage you to discuss them with your Mathematics teacher in the first instance. Alternatively, if needed, feel free to reach out to Mr. Kumar, the Head of Department (HOD) for Mathematics.

NOTE: This course is strongly recommended for those students who did not pass the Numeracy external assessment in Year 10.
