Mathematics
Description
Mathematics is a problem-solving tool. Every citizen needs basic computational skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). We teach our students to use these mentally to solve everyday problems. They also should recognize the importance of accuracy in computation as the foundation for deductions and decisions based on the results. We provide them with a choice of mathematical techniques to be applied in a variety of situations. They need to use mathematics in many forms of decision-making: shopping, paying bills, budgeting and for the achievement of personal goals: critically evaluating advertisements, taxation, investing, commercial activities, banking, working with and using current technologies, measurements and understanding data in the media.
Note: In addition some mathematical issues are being teached which are required by Dutch laws and regulations in order to have the exams equalised with the HAVO-level. These issues are addressed as 'Additional Mathematics (NL)'.
