Numeracy<br />

In Mathematics and Statistics, students develop the ability to think<br />

creatively, critically, strategically and logically by exploring relationships<br />

in quantities, space and data as they learn to make sense of the world<br />

around them.<br />

Number and Algebra<br />

• Teach knowledge explicitly<br />

• Ensure real life context<br />

• Revisit strategies regularly<br />

• Balanced Programme – Numeracy<br />

(70%) vs Strand (30%), depending<br />

on age level<br />

• Lots of hands on equipment<br />

• 1 hr lessons, 4 days a week<br />

• Ability groups<br />

• Identify ‘next steps’<br />

• Progress systematically through<br />

Numeracy stages appropriate to<br />

individual abilities.<br />

Geometry, Measurement<br />

and Statistics<br />

• Use ‘hands on’ equipment<br />

• Take learning opportunities that<br />

arise within a real life context<br />

• Explicit lessons that are<br />

practically based<br />

• Use standard and non-standard units<br />

of measurement<br />

• Teach the Statistical cycle<br />

• Teach analysis of data and graphs<br />

• Teach Probability<br />

Assessment<br />

• PAT – Seniors (Term 2 & 4)<br />

• NUMPA or JAM – Juniors (Term 2 & 4)<br />
