Mathematics – Numeracy at Sacred Heart

At Sacred Heart, our Mathematics program provides students with essential mathematical knowledge, skills, and understandings that they will draw upon throughout their lives—as learners, workers, and active citizens in a rapidly changing, technological world.

Through engaging, purposeful, and differentiated learning experiences, students are supported to:

• Develop practical mathematical and numeracy skills that can be used in everyday life

• Apply mathematical concepts, skills, and processes to pose and solve problems in a range of contexts—both within mathematics and across other learning areas

• Build specialist mathematical knowledge that supports future learning and opens pathways to further study and careers

• Appreciate mathematics as a discipline, exploring its history, ideas, challenges, applications, and the beauty and logic it offers

Our goal is to nurture confident, creative, and critical mathematical thinkers who understand the relevance of mathematics in their lives and the world around them.
