Year 9 Mathematics
Subject Description
Year 9 Mathematics Program.
The new curriculum has grouped mathematics into three strands and our courses reflect these:
- Number and Algebra. This involves calculating, estimating, generalising and patterning.
- Geometry and Measurement. Properties and symmetries of shapes, as well as quantifying attributes of objects using appropriate units and instruments.
- Statistics. Collecting, analysing, using and presenting data. Investigating situations that involve elements of chance.
Students are tested prior to each topic and that prior knowledge is used to inform the teaching programme.
Students are encouraged to develop the ability to think creatively, critically, strategically and logically.
Mathematics at Baradene College is compulsory at Year 9. All Year 8 students will be entered into the Year 9 Mathematics course.
