In
Mathematics, students learn to use ideas about number, space, chance
and data, and mathematical ways of representing patterns and
relationships, to describe, interpret and reason about their social and
physical world. Maths plays a key role in the development of students’
numeracy and assists learning across the curriculum.MAJOR MATHEMATICS LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Appreciating Mathematics - Students appreciate the role mathematics has had and continues to have, in their own and other communities.
2. Working Mathematically - Students use mathematical thinking processes and skills in interpreting and dealing with mathematical and non-mathematical situations.
3. Number - Students use numbers and operations and the relationships between them efficiently and flexibly.
4. Measurement - Students use direct and indirect measurement and estimation skills to describe, compare, evaluate, plan and construct.
5. Chance and Data - Students use their knowledge of chance and data, handling processes in dealing with data and with situations in which uncertainty is involved.
6. Space - Students describe and analyse mathematically the spatial features of objects.
7. Algebra - Students use algebraic symbols, diagrams and graphs to understand, to describe and to reason.
These outcomes provide a broad and comprehensive coverage of mathematical concepts.
