Numeracy

Students work in small focus groups to learn and consolidate mathematical skills and concepts. Nelson Maths is the program used in years F-6 to support the Victorian Maths Curriculum. The use of ICT and Mathletics supports and consolidates learning in this area. Students also participate in hands-on exploration using concrete materials.

• develop a positive self-concept as learners of mathematics.
• appreciate the usefulness of mathematics in everyday contexts.
• become self-motivated learners through inquiry and active participation in challenging and engaging  experiences.
• develop perseverance in understanding  mathematical challenges.
• make informed decisions.
