Mathematics

... Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted... Albert Einstein

Mathematics provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in mathematics and working mathematically. Students have the opportunity to develop increasingly sophisticated and refined mathematical understanding, fluency, communication, reasoning, analytical thought and problem-solving skills. These capabilities enable students to respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations by employing strategies to make informed decisions and solve problems relevant to their present and future needs.

Goals

  • To ensure that all students meet their mathematical potential
  • To encourage all students think mathematically and to be effective problem solvers

Features

  • Staff skilled in Mathematics Extension 1 and 2
  • Morning Maths help in D12 (as well as other break times)
  • Australian Mathematics Competition to help challenge and extend students.
