7. Mathematics years 7-10 (2003) ‘In order to achieve the outcomes of this syllabus, students will need to learn about and use appropriate technologies to develop the key competency using technology. It is important for students to determine the purpose of a technology, when and how to apply the technology, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its application, or whether its use is inappropriate or even counterproductive.’ Board of Studies (2003) Mathematics Years 7-10 2003 pg10 ‘The growth of technology and information, including visual information, demands that students be critically, visually and technologically literate and can compose, acquire, process, and evaluate text in a wide variety of contexts. They need to understand the full scope of a texts meaning, including the wide contextual factors that take meaning beyond a decoding process.’ Board of Studies (2003) Mathematics Years 7-10 2003 pg10.
