Welcome to the Mathematics Learning Area for 2023!

This year we welcome Jenny Bell, Anu Satia and Haley White to the team. Ian McMullan is on leave for Semester 1. The Mathematics teaching team is as follows:

Now that students have started their various courses of study, I would like to remind you of the importance of checking in with Connect. All course information, including course content and assessment outlines, can be sourced in the Library section of Connect. Teachers will also use Connect to post notices regarding assessment tasks and upload relevant learning tools. 

All students continue to have access to Mathspace [http://mathspace.co/] in 2023, and it has been great to see many taking advantage of this wonderful resource to assist with their learning. Within Mathspace, there is a lesson function and a textbook, which can be used by students to keep up with their courses of study.  Please contact your child’s teacher if login details have been forgotten over the summer holidays. 

Students in Years 7 and 8 now have access to Education Perfect. This is new to the Mathematics learning area, however it has been used in our school in other departments. This resource also offers in-built lessons and activities to develop understanding of all concepts covered in the relevant Mathematics course. Teachers will be setting tasks to be completed, so students will always have something to do for homework.

Maths Homework club is running on Wednesdays between 3 and 4pm. We encourage all students to come along and spend some time working on class work, Mathspace or Education Perfect. The team will be happy to help answer any of your Maths related questions.

Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher, or Head of Learning Area, if you have any concerns regarding your child’s learning program or progress throughout this year.
