This course is designed for students who have completed 11MXB or 11MXA but have achieved fewer than 16 credits. It is made up of four Level 1 achievement standards and three Level 1 unit standards. The achievement standards in this course are the Level 1 standards which were not in the 11MXB course. This course is aimed towards those who have found mathematics challenging in earlier years but have been able to succeed given more time and a slower pace of work. |
| Pre-requisite: |
Fewer than 8 achievement standard credits from the externals but at least 10 Level 1 credits in total from Level 1 MAT or Level 1 MCO. To get from Level 1 MAP students will need to have achieved 16 or more unit standard credits. |
