Critical and creative thinking

The Mathematics curriculum fosters critical and creative thinking as students analyse problems, explore strategies and justify solutions. A core part of the curriculum is engaging students in reasoning and thinking about solutions to problems and the strategies needed to find these solutions. They are encouraged to question assumptions and compare computational strategies. In statistical investigations, algebraic reasoning and modelling tasks, students develop and test ideas, simplify complex problems and consider alternative approaches to deepen their mathematical understanding.
