Math
Mathematics is not just a subject, it’s a powerful tool that shapes how we understand and interact with the world. At Trafalgar, math education is designed to ignite curiosity, develop strong problem-solving skills, and build confidence in every student. Whether you’re tackling algebraic puzzles, exploring geometric designs, or applying math to real-life situations, our courses prepare you for success now and in your future academic journey.
Why Study Mathematics Here?
-
Build Critical Thinking: Learn to analyze problems logically and creatively.
-
Connect Math to Life: Discover how math influences everything from technology to art to science.
-
Challenge Yourself: Enrichment groups and advanced streams push curious minds to new heights.
-
Prepare for the Future: Gain the skills you need for university studies and careers in STEAM, business, social sciences, and beyond.
Foundations in Secondary I to III
In the first three years, all students follow a strong core math program that covers essential topics like algebra, geometry, statistics, and problem solving. For those ready to go deeper, our enrichment group explores advanced concepts that stretch their thinking.
You’ll see math come alive through hands-on projects, collaborative challenges, and real-world applications that make the abstract concrete and fun.

What makes the Trafalgar School for Girls math program interesting or different?
The small class sizes allow our girls to learn at their own pace and give them confidence to make mistakes and learn from them. We try to make it fun and focus on improving each day rather than just the results.

Tailored Pathways for Secondary IV and V
In the final two years, students choose from three exciting math pathways to match their interests and goals:
Cultural, Social and Technical (CST) Option
Explore math as a living language that connects to culture, society, and everyday life. Dive into topics like financial math, voting systems, and optimization — perfect for students interested in humanities, social sciences, or business. This pathway develops strong analytical skills for post-secondary programs where critical thinking and quantitative reasoning are essential.
Science (S) Option
If you love experimenting, modeling, and scientific inquiry, this pathway takes you deeper into algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and statistics — all essential for STEM fields and research. This option is also a requirement for Physics, Chemistry, and Environmental Science at Trafalgar, making it the ideal choice for students aiming for advanced science studies in Secondary V and beyond.
Course Highlights
- Mathematics I to III: Build a strong foundation in number theory, algebra, geometry, and statistics through interactive projects and critical thinking exercises.
- Advanced Streams: Challenge yourself with enriched topics such as exponential functions, polynomial factoring, trigonometry, and more.
- Real-World Math: Learn how logarithms explain population growth, how geometry shapes engineering, and how statistics inform decision-making.
