Home / Teaching & Learning / Mathematics
At Bicton we aim to provide students with the essential mathematical skills and knowledge in Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability. Our focus is to develop students’ numeracy capabilities that they require in their personal, work and civic life and provide the fundamentals on which mathematics specialities and professional applications of maths are built.
We focus on developing a sophisticated, refined mathematical understanding for our students that promote and extend their skills in fluency, logical reasoning, analytical thought and problem-solving. A key focus of our future mathematics programs is to ensure our emphasis is on ‘strategy based learning’ so our students are able to think flexibly with numbers and utilise their skills to solve challenging problems requiring multiple steps.
A small snapshot of key focuses and strategies Bicton is employing to continue to build our Mathematics programs and pedagogy are:
Being the best person you can be, and dreaming big.
Bouncing back after challenges and accepting things happen that we can’t always control
Caring about everyone and the world around us
Making positive choices for yourself, others and the environment
