Mathematics

The Quest to…

Develop every Queenstownian into an independent learner, and a precise and resilient thinker.

Key Approaches

Using pedagogical practices in teaching towards Big Ideas in Mathematics:

• Diagrams
• Equivalence
• Functions
• Invariance
• Measures
• Models
• Notations
• Proportionality

Solving Problems in Real World Context (PRWC) Tasks:

• Providing students with authentic context to work with to raise their competencies in abstracting and reasoning, representing and communicating, applying and modelling.
• Using Computational Thinking to approach PRWC questions
