Mathematics is designed to create students who are confident, creative users and communicators of mathematics, able to investigate, represent and interpret situations in their personal and work lives and as active citizens. Students will develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes, and are able to pose and solve problems. They are encouraged to recognise connections between the areas of mathematics and other disciplines and appreciate mathematics as an accessible and enjoyable discipline to study. Underpinning all concepts are Mathematical proficiencies of Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving, and Reasoning.
The Mathematics Curriculum is arranged in three content strands:
- Number and Algebra
- Measurement and Geometry
- Statistics and Probability
