The NSW Board of Studies provides the Mathematics Syllabus K–6 upon which the students’ learning in Maths is based. 

The Mathematics K – 6 Syllabus is organised into six strands – one process strand, Working Mathematically, and the five content strands: Number, Patterns and Algebra, Data, Measurement, and Space and Geometry. Working Mathematically encompasses processes that are embedded into the other five strands through the content. Five hours each week is spent on Mathematics.

St Kevin’s uses an ‘inquiry method’ approach to Mathematics, where teachers allow students to experiment and ask questions to make their own meaning.  Open-ended questions, a variety of teaching and learning experiences, and use of technology ensures all learning styles are catered to and all children are given the chance to excel.  Student learnings are reinforced and consolidated further through a wide range of problem solving and practice exercises.

Children in Years 3 and 5 take part in National Testing (NAPLAN) annually and primary children are invited to participate in the NSW University Mathematics Competition. Mathematics is reported on at both mid year and end of year using the A-E reporting system.
