Welcome to the Year 11 Mathematics.

Here you will find details of the year 11 Courses and
links to pages where you can access resources for each Standard. 

Mathematics is compulsory at year 11 and students are allocated to 
groups based on the year 10 results and teacher recommendations.

Wiki:
Term 2

Both 1MMAA and 1MMAB will be taking  Achievement Standard 1.4 - Apply linear algebra in solving problems (Internal Assessment, 3 credits) in term 2; week 5.

Key Concepts

  • Learn to solve equations by setting out logical steps rather than using guess and check.
  • Practise basic algebra skills thoroughly.
  • Be careful to copy terms correctly from step to step.
  • Substitute your answer into the equation to check that it is correct.
  • An understanding of transformations of graphs is expected.
  • Use a ruler for drawing line graphs.
  • Look carefully at the scales on each axis. When working out the gradient do not simply count squares – remember to check how many units each grid line represents first.
  • Know the difference between 'intercept' and 'intersect'. An intercept is a point where the graph crosses the axes. Intersect means cross or meet.
  • Show your working clearly in correct mathematical steps. Give a full sentence stating your answer.
  • Answer the question in the context that is given. Use commonsense to check your answer.
  • Reread the question to check that you have answered the question asked.
