Mathematics

The students at St James’ are involved in a daily one-hour numeracy sessions which develops knowledge, skills and understanding in Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability.

Mathematics lessons are programmed to cater to the level of the students being taught and administered using up-to-date teaching methods, technology and resources. We focus on developing increasingly sophisticated and refined mathematical understanding, fluency, communication, logical reasoning, analytical thought and problem-solving skills. These capabilities enable students to respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations by employing strategies to make informed decisions and solve problems relevant to their further education and everyday lives.
