Mathematics

2021 threw a few curve balls our way but the Mathematics staff remained committed to being agile in their delivery of curriculum and providing the students with the best pedagogical approaches and teaching practices. Our focus this year, has been to strengthen Mathematical proficiency. As a STEM subject, there is a growing need to enable students to be adaptive in their approaches to solving mathematical tasks. Procedural fluency and conceptual understanding are stepping stones towards a student’s ability to being strategically competent, and being able to formulate and construct a logical and reasonable solution to a mathematical problem. Now, more than ever, we see the value of mathematical modelling in the real world. Students in Years 7 to 12, have been encouraged to apply their skills to a number of different tasks which brings them one step closer to learning more about the world in which they live.
