NCEA L3 Statistics
This course begins with using the Desmos computer software to help graph constraints and find optimal solutions to practical situations, for example the quantities of hand-made and machine-made chocolate required to maximise profit. You will then learn to effectively analyse, display data and structure a report on various types of investigation. This includes using NZGrapher to help make forecasts and find correlations, patterns and trends. In the second semester, the sampling error and uncertainty involved in comparing measurements between two groups are dealt with. This type of analysis is used when trialing a new asthma drug for example. The last unit is a study of how chance and likelyhood are used in practical situations like predicting the weather.

I am from ChCh and have been teaching since 1995. I met my wife, Nicki, in Dunedin where we lived for 8 years. I have also taught at Rudolf Steiner schools in Sydney, Byron Bay and ChCh for over 14 years. I love teaching, surfing, yoga, planting, craft, reading and art. The thing I love most about teaching maths is focusing on the big picture of everyday applications. My lessons comprise of group discussions, individual work, guidance, information and individual feedback. I look forward to working with you should you choose this course.

Mr Wilson made online learning feel just like a normal classroom. The course was taught very thoroughly and he provided lots of support. The communication was amazing, I always knew what work to be doing and he provided many resources and practice tasks to do between video calls. When I was stuck or had a question I was able to email him and he would always respond and help me out. I would recommend Mr Wilson and the course to anyone
