In Years 9 and 10, Mathematics teaching focuses on students’ strengths and goals, as well areas for opportunity, so that students feel adequately prepared to take on their Mathematics pathway in their final years of study. We have developed a unique internal program, the Mathematical Electives for Senior Pathways, or MESP, to give students the chance to complete curriculum-aligned lessons that will prepare them for their senior studies in Mathematics, whilst not limiting the students’ future tertiary and professional prospects.
