The Mathematics Faculty at The Jannali High School is a team of dedicated and dynamic professionals. We endeavour to share our passion for mathematics with all our students, value them as individuals, inspire them to achieve their personal best, value their feedback and encourage them to enjoy their mathematical journey.
As an Apple Distinguished School we embrace technology, with iPads used in the junior school and MacBooks used in the senior school to enhance the learning experience. This technology allows us to supplement lessons with online resources being accessible from every room in the school.
The study of mathematics is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.
By studying mathematics, students learn to work mathematically – developing fluency, understanding, problem-solving, reasoning and communication skills.
The syllabus consists of the following strands:
- number and algebra
- measurement and geometry
- statistics and probability.
In Year 11 and 12, the study of mathematics is optional. Courses offered include:
- Mathematics Extension 2 (Year 12 only)
- Mathematics Extension 1
- Mathematics Advanced
- Mathematics Standard 2
- Mathematics Standard 1 (Optional HSC examination)
- Mathematics Life Skills.
