Years 11-12
The Mathematics Stage 6 syllabuses are designed to offer students opportunities to think mathematically. Mathematical thinking is supported through questioning, communicating, reasoning, reflecting and the use of appropriate technology, and is encouraged through providing students with opportunities to generalise, challenge, find connections and to think critically and creatively. Using mathematical thinking, students apply their knowledge and skills to deepen their understanding of the world.
