Mathematics at South Lincoln focuses on the success of students.  The starting point is ensuring that students' selection of courses allows them to experience success while at the same time keeps opportunities available for future studies at the post-secondary level.  Teaching and Learning in math starts with dedicated study of problems, algorithms, and technology applications.  Assessment and Evaluation take place on a daily basis and includes  paper-and-pencil tests, Rich Learning Tasks, applications of technology, and summative assessment.

South Lincoln strives to provide students with mathematics skills and problem solving tools required in the workplace, college, apprenticeships, and university.  In Grade 9, this means preparation for the EQAO Mathematics Assessment as well as a solid base of skills to move on to future math courses.  South Lincoln prides itself on its EQAO results and is among the highest pass rates in the DSBN.
