Mathematics

In Mathematics students will be provided with opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of the Learning Outcomes at a level commensurate with their mathematical development.

The major learning area outcomes are as follows:

 APPRECIATING MATHEMATICS – Students appreciate the role mathematics has had, and continues to have, in their own and other communities.

 WORKING MATHEMATICALLY – Students use mathematical thinking processes and skills in interpreting and dealing with mathematical and non-mathematical situations.

 NUMBER – Students use numbers and operations and the relationships between them efficiently and flexibly.

 MEASUREMENT – Students use direct and indirect measurement and estimation skills to describe, compare, evaluate, plan and construct.

 CHANCE AND DATA – Students use their knowledge in dealing with data and with situations in which uncertainty is involved.

 SPACE – Students describe and analyse mathematically the spatial features of objects, environments and movements.

 ALGEBRA – Students use algebraic symbols, diagrams and graphs to understand, to describe and to reason.
