​

Rationale

This study is designed to provide access to worthwhile and challenging mathematical learning in a way which takes into account the interests, needs, dispositions and aspirations of a wide range of students, and introduces them to key aspects of the discipline. It is also designed to promote students’ awareness of the importance of mathematics in everyday life in a technological society, and to develop confidence and the disposition to make effective use of mathematical concepts, processes and skills in practical and theoretical contexts.

Aims

This study enables students to:

• develop mathematical concepts, knowledge and skills

• apply mathematics to analyse, investigate and model a variety of contexts and solve practical

  and theoretical problems in situations that range from well-defined and familiar to open-ended

  and unfamiliar

• use technology effectively as a tool for working mathematically.
