Mathematics
Developing logic and reasoning
Mathematics is a subject that opens doors and provides opportunities: doors to employment and further/higher educational courses and opportunities to learn about the relevance of mathematics to every day life.
Mathematics is all around us. It exists in the proportions of artistic works, in the scores of our favourite songs and in the physical structures we live and work in daily. It is also the bedrock of many other subjects including the Sciences, Economics and Engineering and is extremely relevant to subjects like Psychology and Design.
The study of Mathematics can develop a host of skills that are essential to students continuing in their studies as well as those currently in or entering the workplace. These include problem-solving, logic and reasoning, and attention to detail. Mathematics can also lead to careers in finance, business, IT and teaching, among others.
We want every learner to know the relevance of mathematics in today’s world, and to develop their skills in numeracy, mental mathematics and problem solving.
Students in Blackwater Integrated College will have the opportunity to study Mathematics throughout the school and are entered for an appropriate CCEA award at the end of Year 12.
