MATHEMATICS

In the Mathematics Learning Area we strive to create numerate and independent thinkers with the confidence to problem solve with enthusiasm.

Through the delivery of the Australian Curriculum, we aim to ensure that students develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes, and are able to pose and solve problems and reason in Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.

PATHWAYS IN MATHEMATICS

In Years 8 to 10 at Kolbe Catholic College, pathways are offered in Mathematics to better cater for individual learning needs. Students are placed into one of three pathways in Year 8 Mathematics according to their mathematical ability demonstrated in Year 7. An overlap of content in each pathway enables movement between pathways if students improve or find the work too difficult.
