Mathematics

The study of mathematics is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10. 

By studying mathematics, students learn to work mathematically – developing fluency, understanding, problem-solving, reasoning and communication skills.

The syllabus consists of the following strands:

  • number and algebra
  • measurement and geometry
  • statistics and probability.

Mathematics Olympiad

The Maths Games (Years 3 and 4) and Maths Olympiad (Years 5 and 6) programs are embedded into Annandale North’s Mathematics curriculum. The programs focus on developing creative and critical thinking in solving mathematical problems. Every year, students are tested in class and teams are selected to participate in the competition whilst other students work on creative problem solving in their maths groups. More information about The Maths Games and Maths Olympiad can be found by clicking on this sentence.
