Mathematics plays a central role in the development of numeracy. The Mathematics curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to apply mathematical thinking across other learning areas and in real-world contexts. Financial mathematics, health and well-being are important contexts for the application of number, algebra, measurement and probability. Concepts in measurement and geometry provide meaningful opportunities for students to engage with design, construction and spatial reasoning. In an increasingly data-rich world, students use statistics and probability to interpret information, critically evaluate data and make informed decisions in situations involving uncertainty.
