"The maths incursion was a great day to learn new things in a different way. It was really fun and we got to solve heaps of challenging riddles"

What does the course entail?

The Year 9 Mathematics course builds on the concepts and skills learned in Year 7 and 8 and creates a strong foundation for the mathematical skills required for the senior years. Students are given the opportunity to develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes, and to pose and solve problems and reason in number, algebra, measurement, geometry, statistics and probability. Students utilise digital technology to explore mathematical concepts and to construct and share new learning.
 
Pathways in Year 9
  • 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 2C caters for students who did not meet the Year 8 Achievement Standard and focuses on helping students to meet the Year 9 Achievement Standard and achieve an Australian Curriculum C grade.
  • 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.
