The main vine is strong and has secure foundations, whereas the loose vine can be buffeted by the wind, so anyone climbing it will not reach the top. Knowledge is a treasure gained through hard work and problem-solving.
Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space, and time. Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data. These two disciplines, although related, require different ways of thinking and problem-solving. Both equip students with effective means for investigating, interpreting, explaining, and making sense of the world in which they live.
