The Mathematical Methods program focuses on developing higher-order mathematical thinking across four key areas. In Functions and Graphs, students explore lines, linear relationships, inverse proportions, quadratic relationships, powers, polynomials, and general functions. Algebra strengthens problem-solving through linear equations and matrix transformations. Calculus introduces the principles of differential calculus, building the foundation for advanced study. Finally, Probability and Statistics develops skills in counting techniques and probability concepts, preparing students to model uncertainty and analyse data.
