We have had a great start to the year, with high levels of engagement across all mathematics classes. Our primary goal is to make math both enjoyable and engaging, while helping students build confidence and problem-solving skills they need for success beyond the classroom. 

The Mathematics faculty and all students have been busy preparing for the first round of assessments this year. It's been wonderful to see students actively participating in class and engaging with homework activities through Maths Online, which helps them review and consolidate their learning. 

To further enhance student engagement, our teachers have been regularly checking in to ensure students are ready to learn. This includes conducting equipment checks to make sure each student has the tools they need to complete classroom activities and develop key skills. 

In years 7 - 9 students are exploring the mathematical strand - number. Students are learning about the mathematical operations involving number, index laws and the real life applications of these concepts. Year 10 students are working on analysing and interpreting data, as well as learning how to communicate their findings by writing a report. They are completing a problem-solving a modelling task to improve their problem-solving skills. 

Year 11 students have begun Unit 1 which involves two assessments. Students are preparing for their first assessment later in the term. Students will receive 1 QCE point upon successful completion of the unit. 

Year 12 students are currently working on their IA1: Problem solving and modelling task. This assessment makes up 20% of their final grade for year 12. Students are encouraged to utilise all resources and do their best on all assessments this year so they can successfully transition to their chosen pathway after graduation. 

We look forward to seeing continued progress and growth throughout the year!

General notices:

• All students MUST bring a scientific calculator to class every lesson and will require this for the exam.
• Mathematics tutoring is on every Tuesday (1st break) and Thursday (2nd break) in CG01. All students are encouraged and welcome to attend.
