This is the yearly overview for the teaching of Mathematics with a whole school approach. It is structured in a flexible, fortnightly
cycle. Each sub-strand of Number & Algebra will be taught each term. Each sub-strand of Measurement & Geometry and Statistics &
Probability will be taught each semester. The strand of Working Mathematically will be embedded across all sub-strands within the
teaching and learning program.
