Mathematics is a core discipline and one which has a direct impact on student career prospects and choices, therefore we need for all our students to engage in their mathematics learning. We aim to make our learning in this area as practical and linked to life contexts as possible. To this end we are investigating an opportunity to work with other schools from across the north of the state to build our collective teacher capacity to ensure that learning is differentiated and targeted for all our learners, focusing on some key concepts and underpinned by the Big Ideas in Number.

As always if students are unsure about “How will I use this in my life?”, please encourage them to respectfully ask their teacher about this. It is always easier for our learners when they understand the purpose of their learning.
