"The Have Sum Fun competition was a great social event and learning experience where two separate year groups got to collaborate and have fun together"

What does the course entail?

The Year 8 Mathematics course expands on what was learned in Year 7. Students explore more complex and abstract topics within number, algebra, measurement, geometry, probability and statistics. Understanding, fluency, problem-solving and reasoning skills are further developed and applied to real world contexts. Students utilise digital technology in their learning and have the opportunity to construct and share new learning.

To better cater for individual learning needs, students in Year 8 Mathematics are placed into one of three pathways according to their mathematical ability demonstrated in Year 7:
  • Pathway 1 caters for students who are working below their Australian Curriculum year level and require extra support to develop their mathematical skills. Smaller class sizes enable this to occur.
  • Pathway 2 caters for the majority of students and is based on their year level of the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics.
  • Pathway 3 covers the curriculum in Pathway 2 and extends students further than their year level of the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics.​
