Numeracy

We recognise that improved student learning of our students is our number one priority.

A range of appropriate resources are available  such as smartboards, student-centred concrete materials, teacher references, all of which are based on the 2002 NSW Board of Studies K-6 Mathematics Syllabus.

We are working towards a consistent understanding of what it means to be an effective teacher in mathematics, based on the CEO Learning Framework and current research in mathematics education.

We aim to regularly share effective mathematics pedagogy at our school by seeing maths in action in every classroom from K-6. We are providing opportunities for our teachers to reflect together on each other’s lessons and develop our pedagogy further.

We are exploring the most effective strategies for improving individual student learning so that teachers can differentiate their programs to cater for student needs and abilities.

Staff are involved in a program of professional development so that they keep up-to-date with current philosophies of learning.
