The Australian Mathematics Curriculum aims to ensure that students 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 develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes, and are able to pose and solve problems and reason in Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability. They recognise connections between the areas of Mathematics and other disciplines and appreciate Mathematics as an accessible and enjoyable discipline to study.
From the end of Term One, the "Maths 4 Me" program differentiates the number and algebra strands allowing students with a strong aptitude for Mathematics to access higher levels within the Australian Curriculum. Targeted assistance is also offered to students requiring support.
