Welcome to the Astor College for the Arts Mathematics Website. We hope this site will provide a helpful resource for Students, Parents and Teachers.

Mathematics is the means of looking at the patterns that make up our world, appreciating the intricate and beautiful ways in which they are constructed and realised. Numeracy is the means of making that knowledge useful.

Mathematics contributes to the school curriculum by developing students’ abilities to calculate, to reason logically, and to solve problems. It is also important in everyday living, in employment, and in public decision-making. The College curriculum enables pupils to build a secure framework of mathematical reasoning, which they can use and apply with confidence.

The subject transcends cultural boundaries and its importance is universally recognised. Mathematics helps us to understand and change the World.
