Term 3 -Monitoring - Complex Numbers

Raise Māori student achievement through the development of cultural visibility and responsive practices across the pathway as measured against National Standards and agreed targets for reading Years 1-10 and NCEA years 11-13. As a CoL leader within the school. I  am more interested in inquiring about student learning and my own practice.

Monitoring CTD (week 9/10) for Complex Numbers

During week 9 and 10 we were concentrating on preparing for the Complex Number practice test and derived examination.
This will be their third external, and 11 students are willing to sit all 3 of the papers the end of the year. This is in contrast to only 3 students sitting all 3 last year. The Auckland university engineering requirement is that students must achieve 17 external credits, which means they must pass all 3 externals. Internals are not taken into account for entry. My learners are very interested in this pathway.
According to their results 1 student gained Excellence, 3 gained Merit, 4 got Achieved, 2 Not Achieved and one didn’t sit due to family reasons. I then asked students about how we could improve achievement in the short term and here is the KWL chart. They have agreed to come to study classes in the holidays to get more practice.
These are the last few weeks I get to spend with the year 13’s and so as a class we are trying to cherish them. I will miss this class a lot!
