Outcomes

 

The following is a list of outcomes and skills which may be developed in mathematics. This list is by no means exhaustive and teachers should always feel free to exercise their professional judgement to add, delete, modify or ignore any of these outcomes.

 

These outcomes have been largely borrowed from the Computers and Mathematics curriculum support document provided to all schools by DET.

 

You will also notice that some of the outcomes have links which will direct you to a specific lesson idea, skill or work sample that has been included on this website.
