Howick College
Year 12 Mathematics with Statistics (12MAS)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr H. Kondamudi.
Dear students, parents, and caregivers,
12MAS is a Year 12 Mathematics with Statistics course designed to further develop and enhance students' statistical inquiry skills. This course would ensure that students are well-equipped with the statistical knowledge that is required for further education and career pathways. The use of technology and statistical software provides students with the relevant skills for a successful career in any statistics related profession.
Mathematicians and statisticians use symbols, graphs, displays, and diagrams to help them find and communicate patterns and relationships. They evaluate information to make informed decisions and create models to represent both real-life and hypothetical situations. These situations are drawn from a wide range of social, cultural, scientific, technological, environmental, and economic contexts.
Being a combination of Internals and Externals, the course is well balanced in terms of report writing and probability based assessments. This will also allow students entry into Level 3 Mathematics with Statistics. Students will be offered the opportunity to gain a total of 14 credits, consisting of 10 internal credits and 4 credits externally. The course also offers an opportunity for subject endorsement.
Course Overview
Term 1
AS 91264 Inference - Internal (3 credits) - Assessment scheduled for Term 1, week 5-6. This is a report based open book assessment which students will have a week to work on.
Please note that further assessment opportunities will not be offered for the report based internal assessment because of time constraints around allocating an extra week during the year for each internal further assessment opportunity.
AS 91260 Networks - Internal (2 Credits) - Assessment scheduled for Term 1, Week 10. This is closed book assessment which runs for 1 hour.
Term 2
AS 91265 - Experiment Design Internal (4 credits) - Assessment scheduled for Term 2, week 6. This is a report based open book assessment which students will have a week to work on.
Please note that further assessment opportunities will not be offered for the report based internal assessment because of time constraints around allocating an extra week during the year for each internal further assessment opportunity.
Term 3
AS91268 - Simulations Internal (2 credits) - Assessment scheduled for Term 3, week 4. This is a closed book assessment which runs for 1 hour.
AS 91267 Probability Methods - External (4 credits) - Practice Assessment scheduled for Term 3, week 8. This is done under test conditions and is a 1 hour test.
School derived grade exams will be conducted in Term 3, week 9.
