From the Co-ordinator of Mathematics
The Mathematics Department is excited to announce a new Mathematics workshop for the Senior School students, the ‘Mathematics Problem-Solving Workshop’.
About the program
Every day we create challenges for students to practise on, so they’ll be prepared for a future full of real-world problems. Problems that will require ingenuity, creativity, and determination to solve. In a rapidly changing world, we simply don’t know what the problems of the future will be yet, but we do know there are going to be lots of them. So, it’s important that we develop the capacity of our students to reach their full potential when it comes to solving them.
Mathematics isn’t just about times tables and formulae. It’s about the process of finding creative solutions to problems. It develops resilience, confidence, critical and creative thinking in students. At Pittwater House we are passionate about empowering students to become better problem solvers, so they can be creative solution finders in the future. So, it is exciting to offer this opportunity for students.
Nature of the program
Students will engage in a variety of problems each week from topics within the Australian Curriculum. These problems aim to challenge the students, so they develop new and creative ways of solving complex problems. Students need to be passionate about their mathematics and able to work both independently and collaboratively in their pursuit of the solution.
This workshop aims to provide further enrichment to the wonderful mathematics work that goes on inside the classroom every day.
