Rich and Dynamic Learning Experiences for a Broader Range of Students
A generous donation from an Old Scholar in 2024 enabled us to fast-track our vision of systematically engaging a broader range of students in solving non-routine problems – an endeavour that lies at the heart of cultivating mathematical excellence. Tackling such problems is often regarded as the pinnacle of mathematical thinking and behaviour.
Two dedicated staff members now allocate time each week to:
- Develop non-routine problem packs for teachers to use in their classrooms.
- Curate internal “competition” packs for our Year 8 class versus class competitions.
- Support other staff in effectively utilising the materials they create.
- Design problem sets for our internal mathematical battles, which turn mathematics into a spectator sport.
- Innovate and establish an inter-school mathematical battle league.
It is incredibly inspiring to see the rich and dynamic learning experiences that the availability of these resources is helping to foster.
