11MTE continues to develop the seven strands of the New Zealand Curriculum covered at Year 9 and 10 as well as introducing some new topics. There is an increased focus on problem solving and the application of skills and knowledge in real-life contexts. It prepares students for future algebra-rich courses such as Calculus while not excluding Statistics by exploring a range of both mathematical and statistical concepts.
