Mathematics is a reasoning and creative activity employing abstraction and generalisation to identify, describe and apply patterns and relationships. The symbolic nature of mathematics provides a powerful concise and precise means of communication. Mathematics K-10 syllabus develops children’s knowledge and understanding in number and algebra, measurement and space, and statistics and probability. Refined mathematical understanding, fluency, communication, logical reasoning, analytical thought and problem- solving skills are all cultivated through the syllabus.
The children at OLGC learn through explicit teaching and open-ended tasks and challenges. Specific and individualised questions ensure thatthey continue to progress at their own level.
