Geometry

The mathematics curriculum intended by this statement will provide opportunities for students to:

  • gain a knowledge of geometrical relations in two and three dimensions, and recognise and appreciate their occurrence in the environment;
  • develop spatial awareness and the ability to recognise and make use of the geometrical properties and the symmetries of everyday objects;
  • develop the ability to use geometrical models as aids to solving practical problems in time and space.

 Problem Solving Number Measurement Geometry Algebra Statistics
 Developing Logic and Reasoning
 Communicating Mathematical Ideas

The mathematical processes skills – problem solving, reasoning, and communicating mathematical ideas – are learned and assessed within the context of the more specific knowledge and skills of number, measurement, geometry, algebra, and statistics.
