Mathematics
Mathematics in Stage 6 develops students’ ability to think mathematically through questioning, communicating, reasoning, reflecting and using appropriate technology. Students are encouraged to generalise, make connections, challenge ideas and think both critically and creatively.
By studying mathematics, students learn to work mathematically – building fluency, understanding, problem-solving, reasoning and communication skills that deepen their understanding of the world and prepare them for further study, careers and everyday life.
In Year 11 and 12, the study of mathematics is optional. At Chifley College Senior Campus, we offer the following Mathematics courses:
- Mathematics Extension 2 (Year 12 only)
- Mathematics Extension 1
- Mathematics Advanced
- Mathematics Standard 2
- Mathematics Standard 1 (Optional HSC examination)
- Mathematics Life Skills
Confidence grows as Mathematics students master new concepts and discover their mathematical strengths.
Technology in Mathematics enhances learning as students use digital tools to investigate data and test ideas.
In Mathematics, students collaborate to solve complex mathematical problems, applying reasoning and critical thinking skills.
Our Mathematics classrooms foster curiosity and confidence, preparing students to apply mathematics beyond school.
