The Maths curriculum includes the 3 Mathematical areas of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability. The curriculum focuses on developing increasingly sophisticated and refined mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning, modelling and problem-solving. These capabilities enable students to respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations by employing mathematics to make informed decisions and solve problems efficiently.

 

Students develop skills in questioning, modelling, explaining, analysing, hypothesising and applying, as well as the interpersonal skills to work cooperatively.  The use of hands-on equipment and ICT are incorporated into teaching and learning to support, engage, reinforce and present mathematical concepts. Learning is differentiated through using an inquiry approach which provides students with the opportunity to take ‘risks’ and have ownership of their own learning. Teachers use ‘enabling tasks’ and ‘extending tasks’ to support the students with their maths learning goals.
