Maths Learning Programs

Mathematics
Mathematics sits with English as part of our core curriculum. We develop foundational maths skills by building on students' natural curiosity about sorting, counting and making patterns. Concrete materials and quality resources are used to help students develop a strong sense of number, shape and measurement before moving to more abstract concepts.

Foundation is all about the numbers to 20; Year 1, the numbers to 100; Year 2, numbers to 1000; and Year 3: numbers to 10,000. Skill and confidence in working with these numbers lays the foundation for all mathematics learning in the following years. Number facts, including times tables, are regularly reviewed to build automatic fluency. This process is supported with strategies to build understanding. 

We have a maths homework program for Years 3 to 6, ensuring students have an opportunity to get in some extra practice, but it isn't at all arduous. The books are levelled so the questions provide revision, and are simple for students and parents to follow.
