Mathematics | St Maurice's High School

Welcome to the Mathematics and Numeracy Department.

“Mathematics and Numeracy are important in our everyday life, allowing us to make sense of the world around us and to manage our lives. Using mathematics enables us to model real – life situations and make connections and informed predictions. It equips us with the skills we need to interpret and analyse information, simplify and solve problems, assess risk and make informed decisions.”
