MATHEMATICS

It has been a couple of weeks since all students returned to learning on-site and we are beginning to find normality in the classroom again.  

Just like it is for students, it’s also a great time to remind our wider community of the variety of programs we offer at Mooroolbark College.  

Our Student Learning Goals is a new program offered for Year 7 and 8, where students have the opportunity to select and progress on a particular skill at their own pace. Students have a variety of resources available to assist in their understanding and application of new skills and will get this checked off by their teacher each week. Students also have a separate book to complete this in where they can record their goals and reflect on their progress.  

We continue to conduct our Numeracy program as a core feature of Mathematics at Mooroolbark. There is dedicated classroom time to exploring real work challenges to promote the critical and creative thinking of our students. Students are encouraged to problem solve in a collaborative way in order to develop their skills, understanding and Mathematics proficiencies.  

In lieu of our Night of Excellence, this year we highlighted the excellent work created in the different learning areas of the College in 2021 via our Facebook page. Our students in Mathematics have completed some amazing work this year to such a high standard. 

Below are some of the pieces that were shown at our NIGHT OF EXCELLENCE.  Well done to all students for their amazing work!
