Mathematics

The study of mathematics is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10. 

By studying mathematics, students learn to work mathematically – developing fluency, understanding, problem-solving, reasoning and communication skills.

The syllabus consists of the following strands:

  • number and algebra
  • measurement and geometry
  • statistics and probability.

At Arcadia Public School every child’s numeracy skills are enhanced through innovative programs utilising technology, explicit teaching and the use of hands-on materials.

 

Maths groups across the school engage and challenge our students, offering them learning tasks that are appropriate to their learning needs.
