OVERVIEW:
Mathematics is an essential part of life - in our homes, workplaces and recreational activities. It provides skills for problems in the real world. As well, mathematics makes several important contributions to a sound general education by providing the necessary skills and understanding found in a wide definition of numeracy; in society; other subject areas; a technological society; further studies in mathematics; and in communication.

As a result of the rapid changes in technology and the consequential changes in mathematics, the pace of mathematics education has changed from an emphasis on mechanical calculations out of context to one of life related problem solving. This often involves the use of computer software, calculators and other appropriate instruments.
Today, the study of mathematics places emphasis on the development of positive attitudes towards the student's involvement in mathematics through working systematically and logically, and communicating with and about mathematics.
