Mathematics
At St. John’s students learn to develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes, and are able to pose and solve a range of mathematical problems. Our students competently learn to reason in Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability, while applying their skills and strategies to solve a variety of equations and problems.
The mathematic's curriculum supports students to become self-motivated, confident learners through active participation in challenging and engaging experiences.
