Maths Pathway Parent Information Evening

On Monday 1 May, Tom Moore (Head of Maths) ran the Year 7 Maths Pathway Parent Information Evening to give parents an overview on how the pathways program works at Lilydale High School.  

There were approximately 500 guests who attended to find out more.  ‘Mini’ sessions were  held with the students, parents and teachers of each form to get individual assistance with the program.  

Thank you to all those that attended. It was a fantastic night.

If you were unable to attend and have a question about the Maths Pathway at Year 7, please contact Tom Moore at;

Year 10 Maths Methods

This week Mr Carr kindly allowed us into his classroom to see what his Year 10 Maths Methods students were up to.

They are just completing their topic on Surds, where they have used mathematical operations to simplify and evaluate them.

The students have been working hard to prepare their summary notes sheets as a revision tool and to use for their test.

“We have been learning about Surds and concentrating on dividing them by each other” – Michaella Kincaid

“I liked learning how to simplify Surds while Mr Carr told us some jokes” – Tahlia Schlittler

“I’ve learnt that Surds are challenging to work with but with hard work and our student teachers help we have been able to rationalise surds” – Alex Caldwell
