Mathematics

The Mathematics Faculty aims to create and maintain a learning environment that allows young women to achieve their full potential through quality teaching and learning.

We aim to cultivate a learning environment in Mathematics that allows students to be critical and creative thinkers, independent learners and are provided with a varied range of opportunities for life-long-learning.

Students are challenged through enrichment activities, group work, class discussions and research assignments.  Students develop an awareness of how mathematics can be used to solve problems in everyday life and appreciate the role it plays in our society.

• Faculty planning and development workshops
• Reflective practice in teaching and learning through ongoing evaluation and action research.
• Use of SMART date to re-evaluate teaching and learning.
• Using the mathletics program for further engage and support student learning.
• Provide opportunities for students to participate in a range of co-curricular activities such as World of Maths, the Australian Mathematics competition and excursions.
• Encourage the use of Chromebooks and BYOD computers within the classroom to enhance and assist student learning in a technological rich mathematics environment.
