Mathematics
What is best in mathematics deserves not merely to be learnt as a task, but to be assimilated as a part of daily thought, and brought again and again before the mind with ever-renewed encouragement.”
Bertrand Russell
The intent of our mathematics curriculum is to nurture each student's mathematical prowess so that every student reaches their full potential. We view mathematics as a profound human endeavour that shapes our understanding of the world, transcending time and culture.
Our curriculum aims to cultivate mathematicians through four key processes:
- Knowledge Acquisition: Sequencing learning to deepen understanding, to build on prior knowledge, and to develop mathematical language.
- Fluency: Practising diverse, complex problems in order to enhance conceptual understanding, and accurate application.
- Generalisation: Encouraging reasoning and relationships, and crafting arguments using mathematical language.
- Application: Solving varied problems and applying mathematics across subjects and real-world scenarios.
We challenge students to embrace ambiguity, persevere through difficulties, and to appreciate mathematical beauty. By fostering creativity and curiosity, we hone critical thinking and abstract reasoning skills.
Our approach promotes mathematics as an intellectual pursuit that transforms minds, thus equipping students to tackle profound challenges and offer unique perspectives on our world.
