It is the goal of ISL to equip each student with the skills, knowledge, and understanding of Mathematics and to see the importance of Mathematics in the real world. We seek to teach the fundamental concepts of Mathematics as well as the critical thinking skills necessary to use that knowledge wisely.

The key objectives of the ISL Mathematics Programme are to:

• Encourage an understanding throughout the ISL community that Mathematics is accessible to all students
• Promote learning in a variety of ways necessitating experience with a range of instructional strategies
• Enable students to learn more effectively when they communicate and explain their mathematical thinking and understanding verbally, in writing, through diagrams and practical demonstrations
• Encourage the development of Mathematical ability which involves the learning of procedural skills, reasoning, understanding and problem solving, with an emphasis on real world situations
• Provide learning opportunities that promote questioning, exploration and investigation of mathematical concepts using a range of strategies
