Homework
The amount of homework set by teachers in the Mathematics faculty will vary according to a number of factors. These include the topic being learned by students, whether an assignment has been set, the ability of students, the Year that they are in and the Course or Pathway that they are studying. Generally speaking though, it will vary between 20 minutes in Years 7 and 8 up to 45 minutes in senior school. If your child is becoming frustrated with the homework and unable to complete it, or is taking an inordinate amount of time to finish, a note to the teacher to explain the difficulty will assist the teacher in helping your child.
Homework is designed to reinforce concepts and skills taught in class and as such is an important part in consolidating what has been learned that day. In addition to this, students are encouraged in junior years and expected in senior years to regularly revise their work. In senior school, this would amount to one hour per week per unit of Mathematics, e.g. in General Mathematics this would amount to at least 2 hours of Mathematics study plus homework per week.
