Mathematics

The Mathematics KLA at Cherrybrook Technology High School offers the full range of curriculum courses as outlined in the various syllabii set by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA).

Maths courses aim to create confidence and enjoyment in doing mathematical activities. Students develop an awareness of how maths can enhance critical thinking and be used to solve problems in everyday life.

The Mathematics faculty works closely with the CTHS wellbeing team to meet the learning needs of all students through extra support and differentiated programs.

Students in our gifted and talented program participate in many enrichment activities including the Australian Mathematics Competition, the Australian Problem Solving Mathematics Olympiad (APSMO), Maths Challenge for Young Australians Challenge Stage and Enrichment Series.

Year 7

Students in year 7 remain in their core classes for Mathematics. Students complete 8 periods per fortnight and an additional one period devoted to problem solving skills. Further information about requirements of students, including an assessment timeline, can be found in the Mathematics Stage 4 note sent home at the beginning of each year.

Year 8

Students in year 8 are ungraded with the exception of two Olympiad classes. Students complete 8 periods per fortnight and an additional one period devoted to problem solving skills. Further information about requirements of students, including an assessment timeline, can be found in the Mathematics Stage 4 note sent home at the beginning of each year.

Year 9

Students in year 9 are placed into classes for Mathematics based on their performance in year 8 Maths. Classes are taught in either the 5.3 (Advanced), 5.2 (Intermediate) or 5.1 (Standard) mathematics course. Students will be assessed based on the level made available to them. It should be noted that students who wish to attempt the assessment higher than their current level need to first demonstrate mastery of the content in their current course. Students complete 8 periods per fortnight. Further information about requirements of students, including an assessment timeline, can be found in the Mathematics Stage 5 note sent home at the beginning of each year.

Year 10

Students in year 10 are placed into classes for Mathematics based on their performance in year 9 Maths. Classes are taught in either the 5.3 (Advanced), 5.2 (Intermediate) or 5.1 (Standard) mathematics course. Students will be assessed based on the level made available to them. It should be noted that students who wish to attempt the assessment higher than their current level need to first demonstrate mastery of the content in their current course. Students complete 8 periods per fortnight. Further information about requirements of students, including an assessment timeline, can be found in the Mathematics Stage 5 note sent home at the beginning of each year.
