Mathematics is a core learning area at Rockhampton State High School and is studied by all students from years 7 to 12. Our mathematics program is aligned with the Australian Curriculum and provides students with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed for further study, employment and everyday life.
The Junior Curriculum is built around three key strands:
- Number and Algebra
- Measurement and Geometry
- Statistics and Probability
To support diverse learning needs of our students, mathematics is offered across a range of pathways:
- Learning support mathematics
- Core mathematics
- Extension mathematics
These pathways ensure all students are appropriately challenged and supported. Learning support classes provide targeted assistance and smaller sized classes, while Extension classes offer opportunities for advance problem-solving, critical-thinking and deeper mathematical exploration.
Senior Mathematics
In years 11 and 12, students can select from a range of pathways of Mathematical subjects aligned with their interests, abilities and future pathways.
- Essential mathematics
- General mathematics
- Mathematical methods
- Specialised mathematics (in conjunctions with mathematical methods)
These subjects provide pathways to a wide range of tertiary studies, apprenticeships, vocational training and careers in fields such as science, technology, business, health and education.
Students and families are encouraged to review the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) subject information when making senior subject selections.
