Senior Mathematics

Senior Mathematics offers two different pathways through school that cater for students’ interests and areas of strength.

• Mathematics - this pathway is designed for students who wish to study Mathematics through NCEA Level 3, but with a reduced focus on algebraic skills. It covers a range of applied Mathematics, such as modelling, network theory and statistics.
• Calculus and Statistics - this pathway is designed for students who have strong algebraic skills, and plan to go on to university for further study involving Mathematics or Statistics.

Keen students will have the opportunity to further extend their thinking in the Australian Mathematics Competition, Computational and Algorithmic Thinking Competition, and Scholarship examinations.

For more information about the individual courses in each pathway we offer in the senior school, please consult the Northcote College Course Directory.
