Below is NCEA Level 2 Simulation, worth 2 Literacy/Numeracy credits and
NCEA L2 Networks, worth 2 Numeracy credits.
The highest achievement has been for our Pasifika students where 100% of them achieved for both Simulation and Networks compared to national data for the same standard, where achievement was 74% and 76% respectively. Our Pasifika NCEA L2 maths students have clearly outperformed national data.
Overall 91% of the cohort gained credits for Simulation compared to 80% nationally and 93% gained credits for Networks compared to 80% nationally.
Below is a similar comparison with NCEA L1 Maths published data. Probability seems to be a strength for both Maori and Pasifika students.
The data shows that overall, 100% of our cohort gained credits for the Probability Achievement Standard compared to 94% nationally, 100% Maori gained credits compared to 85% nationally and 100% Pasifika gained credits compared to 81% nationally.
This strength in Probability is carried through to the NCEA L2 Probability Simulation standard as discussed above where 100% of our Pasifika learners gained credits.
NCEA L1 Algebra also proved to be successful as overall achievement was 94% compared to 86% nationally.
Students deserve all the success because throughout their learning journey they showed that they could manage self, one of the 5 key competencies, track their progress while working at their own pace and sat assessments when they felt confident. Most of these students had had unpleasant experiences in maths prior to 2019, so I created a "CHEAT SHEET" for each standard taught just to build their efficacy in the subject and this has resulted in a huge shift in their achievement.
