Mathematics
Mathematics is one of the key learning areas in the Junior School curriculum. All students are to be provided with experiences in mathematics on a regular basis across the five strands of; Working Mathematically, Number, Patterns and Algebra, Measurement and Data and Space and Geometry so that they:
- Appreciate Mathematics as an essential and relevant part of life
