Proficiency strands underpinning all work in Mathematics:

• Understanding
• Fluency
• Problem Solving
• Reasoning

These are taught in the context of the following content strands:

• Number and Algebra
• Measurement and Geometry
• Statistics and Probability

In Mathematics at the Academic Excellence level, all roads lead to Algebra and students should expect to be immersed both in specific Algebra skills and general applications in other strands at all times. The Mathematics GT Online program reflects and exceeds the Australian Curriculum ‘A stream’ syllabus. The program is designed to lead students into Stage 3 Mathematics (MAT) and Mathematics Specialist (MAS) courses in Years 11 and 12.

The program has been further designed to encourage independent and heuristic thinking in Mathematics which then enhances logical thinking in other areas of study and life. Students should not expect to have information poured into their heads as if they are empty vessels waiting for a teacher to fill them. They are expected to think deeply and independently and to explore the Mathematics presented.
