At the end of Term 1, we farewell Ms Rany Thach. We thank her for her work in the Mathematics faculty and wish her well as she pursues teaching in a different capacity. Due to this change in staffing, there will be some changes to teachers for some classes. The students in these classes will be issued new timetables at the beginning of Term 2.

As we go through the holiday period, we encourage students (along with their parents) to actively practice Maths in the everyday context – baking, shopping, planning events (timetables, mapping a journey, duration), playing cards, planting a garden, sorting the Easter egg haul, or even measuring the length of the fish that got away! Maths is everywhere, and we can use it all the time.

A challenge problem for the holidays:

And for those seeking a further challenge, can you graph an Easter Egg?
