OVERVIEW OF PROJECT MATHS
Project Maths involves the introduction of revised syllabuses for both Junior and Leaving Certificate Mathematics. It involves changes to what students learn in mathematics, how they learn it and how they will be assessed.

Project Maths aims to provide for an enhanced student learning experience and greater levels of achievement for all. Much greater emphasis will be placed on student understanding of mathematical concepts, with increased use of contexts and applications that will enable students to relate mathematics to everyday experience.

The Mathematics syllabuses will be introduced by strand as follows:

   1. 1. Statistics and Probability
   2. 2. Geometry and Trigonometry
   3. 3. Number
   4. 4. Algebra
   5. 5. Functions

The first two strands which have been worked on in the 24 schools will be introduced nationally for incoming first year and fifth year students in September 2010.
