Waipa In-Person Maths Tutorials
Mathematics & Statistics
What will I learn with my Waipa In-Person tutor during our tutorials?
Primary and Intermediate aged students:
​
​
Our Maths students will learn to count, gather, group, measure and shape. They will look at equations and how to form conclusions. Our Maths tutorials also cover addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Making sure they develop their numeracy skills ready to use at school and beyond.
High school and NCEA Students:
​
Our students will learn the correct structural processes within Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Measurement, Statistics and Probability, and/or Trigonometry. NCEA students can investigate, form conclusions, solve problems and conduct experiments through a practical and theoretical lens. The In-Person tutor will provide demonstrations as well as provide students with opportunities to conduct, explore and investigate solutions as well.
Why is it important to learn a variety of Mathematics?
Primary and Intermediate aged students:
Maths is everywhere! We use Maths when we are sharing with our friends, telling the time, and buying yummy food! Adults use Maths regularly in their jobs, too.
High school and NCEA students:
NCEA students need to learn how to investigate and develop sound logical minds to make sense of the wider world. Mathematics provides NCEA students with the opportunities to understand how to observe and develop shapes and inventions; count and understand probability and chance. It also allows students to understand the link between what forms from an exact process and what can be altered.
What if I already know how to count?
Mathematics is so much more than counting and it exists within everything that we see and experience. Buildings, cars, the way we move, the sports we play - it all has Mathematical influences and constructs. If you explore Mathematics more in depth, you may notice and enjoy investigations and making sense of this complex world we live in.
NCEA
Maths Exams
What will I learn with my online tutor during our online tutorials?
NCEA students will learn the rules and processes for sitting an NCEA Mathematics exam. The NCEA student will learn how to collect information for their study prep, read an NCEA exam question properly and following key words appropriately, as well as practice adding examples, evidence and a critical opinion to a typical NCEA exam question. The online tutor will provide a variety of different typical NCEA exam problems to solve as well as resources to practice with.
Why is it important to prepare for NCEA exams?
It is important to be prepared for Mathematics exams as the NCEA student may feel overwhelmed when in the official exam. This is because it is a different set up to their usual assessments. NCEA students have an allocated time and strict NCEA conditions, therefore having a plan and being able to know more about what to expect can alleviate some of the pressure.
NCEA students undergo a series of NCEA external examinations. Each school enrols students in one or more NCEA examination papers. It is appropriate that the NCEA student studies the NCEA approved texts in the classroom.
​
-
NCEA exam 1 focuses on Algebra, Geometry, Statistics and Probability
-
NCEA exam 2 focuses on Algebra, Calculus, and Probability
-
NCEA exam 3 focuses on Algebra, Calculus, Statistics and Probability
-
NCEA Physics exams focus on wave systems and electricity/electromagnetism.
​
In our online tutorials, the online tutor may view NCEA Maths course outline to become familiar with NCEA internal and external assessment allocations, then the online tutor will work together with the NCEA student to practice answering typical NCEA exam questions.
What if I am feeling anxious about the NCEA Maths exams?
NCEA students may feel anxiety over their NCEA external exams, so it is comforting for them to practice the process of sitting exams with our online tutors. As we are qualified teachers who have taught to NCEA examinations, our online tutor knows how to alleviate the pressures of sitting exams. We do this by practising answering typical NCEA external questions and talk about the process.
