Mathematics

Mathematics is all about numbers, patterns and shapes, and how these can be used to solve problems with real world applications. The skills learnt in Mathematics are useful for working with money, sports, engineering, architecture and the trades. In fact, you'd find it difficult to find a profession that does not involve using Mathematics of some sort. By studying Mathematics, students develop the ability to think creatively, critically, strategically and logically. They learn to structure and organise, to carry out procedures flexibly and accurately, to process communication and to enjoy intellectual challenges. 

At Liston College, our Junior Mathematics courses aim to develop an enjoyment of Mathematics and to give students a sound understanding of the Mathematics skills required for the day-to-day problems encountered at home, or in the workplace, while also preparing students for future Mathematics study in the senior school.

After Year 11, Mathematics splits into Mathematics with Calculus and Mathematics with Statistics. 

Calculus is primarily focused on modeling relationships with equations and using these to solve a range of problems. Statistics equips students with essential data analysis skills. It covers data collection, organization, and interpretation to make conclusions about real world problems.
