Senior High

Pure

The purpose of pure mathematics is to emphasize mathematical theory and the testing of mathematical hypotheses. Real life problems are then presented in order for students to apply previously learned mathematical concepts and procedures. Students are expected to take responsibility for their learning as they work both independently and in groups to understand, use and interpret various mathematical concepts and processes.

Applied

The purpose of applied mathematics is to give students a clearer picture of why they are learning mathematics in order to help promote motivation in learning. Students experience mathematics as being dynamic and useful in their careers and everyday life.
