Simkin,

from my wife the maths teacher

http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications-standards/qualifications/ncea/subjects/mathematics/level-3/

Scroll down to 'Resources for externally assessed satandards' - 'Examination documents'

This will give you past exams.

Many thanks, especially Kiwi Jon. Those maths teacher wifes are quite useful

Anne, I have googled it, checked the school web site and couldn't find it - just the curriculum.

WWW.studyit.org.nz is a very useful site as well. It gives you past exams and the answers (moreorless, the marking guides at least). Just choose the subject and level required.

You might also like to look at Mates mate skill builders at this site

See Maths facts downloads halfway down the page. Good exercises to sharpen the brain. although not above level 6.

my wife is also I maths teacher.

Its clear......if you want your kids to do better at NCEA (anything)..and why wouldnt you?

THEN STUDY PREVIOUS YEARS PAPERS AND ANSWERS

The exams only change the numbers each year..not the actual task you need to do. Its as close to getting this years exam as you can get.
Study the last three years papers and this years one will be no surprise

with just this this technique a lot of less able (less than 50%mark normally) students make it thru..those with some smarts get the 90 to 100 mark where previously they were getting 70% in natural ability.

Like most things its technique...find those previous papers ..its the best thing you can do for the future of your kids
