Year 9 Mathematics and Statistics (9MAT)
9MAT Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr Z. Irani.
Pre-requisitesNo entry requirement
The Year 9 Mathematics course at Howick College is centered on Level 4 of the New Zealand Curriculum. Our primary goal is to develop students' skills and understanding, enabling them to engage with mathematics in everyday life and prepare for the mathematical requirements of future studies and vocations. We work collaboratively to ensure each student achieves their full potential as a mathematician. Numeracy skills are integrated throughout the course to prepare students for the NCEA co-requisite.
Additionally, we encourage students to participate in mathematical competitions such as MATHEX, Junior Otago Mathematics Competition and others. These competitions offer numerous benefits beyond academic achievement, including the development of critical skills, personal growth, and a lifelong appreciation for mathematics.
We are committed to providing a supportive and enriching environment where all students can thrive and develop a strong foundation in mathematics.
