NCEA Level 2 Mathematics with Statistics
Although this years timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place next year.
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs H. Cason.
Mathematics and Statistics includes mathematical thinking and statistical procedures, which will extend a student’s abilities to tackle simple modelling and problem-solving situations. The course focuses on Research, Data Analysis and Interpretation. It will be useful for students interested in Education, Business, Physical Education, Psychology, Management or the Social Sciences where Statistics is required as a supporting subject.
This course is a combination of Level 2 Mathematics and Level 2 Statistics standards, and also includes a Level 3 Statistics standard. It has been designed for students who have not met the entry requirements for the Level 2 Mathematics course (12MAT), but would like to continue with Mathematics rather than a pure Statistics course at Level 2.
Students doing 12MAS require competence in the Level 1 mathematical skills obtained from the 11MAT course.
Students taking 12MAS will continue to develop and extend their mathematical reasoning through algebra, geometry and statistics, and also develop new skills in probability, trigonometry and networks. The course is suited to students who prefer the option of more internal assessments, as there is only one external standard.
Comparing 12MAS and 12STAT:
12MAS | 12STAT |
Co-ordinate Geometry | Simulations |
Statistical Inference | Questionnaire |
Systems of Equations | Experiments |
Probability Methods | Probability Methods |
Trigonometry | Trigonometry |
Networks | Networks |
total credits = 17 | total credits = 17 |

Prior Learning
Prerequisite:
- Level 1 Numeracy gained from Mathematics standards
- Achievement in AS 1.2 AND competence in Algebra skills demonstrated in the Algebra skills test
- Achievement three of the four standards offered in 11MAT, with at least one of these achieved at Merit level.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
approximately $30 to cover the cost of maths workbooks
Laptop
Casio FX9750Giii Graphics Calculator
Please refer to stationery list for statioery requirements.
Pathway
There is a pathway to Level 3 Mathematics and Statistics (13MAS) or Level 3 Statistics and Probability (13STAT).
12MAS does not prepare students for Level 3 Calculus (13MAC).
