Mathematics is not just numbers with the answers at the back of the textbook. Although we need to become fluent in numeracy to live our daily lives, there is so much more to Maths. It is the study of structure and pattern. We use it to explore, understand and simplify the world around us. Mathematics is the study of connecting the unconnected.
\nIn studying Maths, we learn how to reason, how to solve problems, how to ask \u2018what if\u2026\u2019, how to explain why, how to create. We learn how to think. In studying Mathematics we learn so much more than just using numbers.<\/p>\n
