Term 3 NCEA L1 maths data

This year I had an opportunity to teach two NCEA L1 classes, 1104MAT and 1105MAT. This means that I was able to transfer good practices from one class to the other and also be aware of pitfalls/shortcomings for each standard and address them immediately as opposed to waiting the following year with a new class. If a resource worked well in one class then I was fairly confident that it would work well in the other. Both classes followed the same courses with similar teaching and learning strategies and subject-specific literacy strategies; 1105MAT generally struggled with the key competency "managing self" and this is evident in their academic progress with 70% of Maori learners still on 0 credits compared to 0% of Maori learners still on 0 credits in 1104MAT.

The table below shows achievement in my 2 classes (1104MAT and 1105MAT) and the other 3 NCEA L1 maths classes combined. This is the first year that NCEA L1 maths students were not streamed so a great deal of conferencing lessons and differentiation was done.

All Maori learners in 1104MAT arrived at the college in year 9 and were achieving consistently at curriculum L4 compared to Maori learners in 1105MAT who arrived from years 9 to y11 and whose achievement ranged from curriculum L2 - L4.
