Mathematics is a way of understanding the world through the use of number, measurement and space. Learners investigate and analyse mathematical problems through investigating, comparing, reflecting, and testing information to work out possible answers. They develop the mathematical skills and understandings that they need in all areas of their lives.
The ACARA Maths curriculum is broken into Proficiency strands:
These underpin three content strands:
Through these strands students explore and analyse data and numerical and spatial patterns, learn about measurement and number, and develop spatial understanding and geometric reasoning.

The Big ideas in number include:
Teachers at Enfield Primary School work in a variety of ways to assist all students to develop confidence, fluency and flexibly with these concepts and strategies.
