Noble Park Primary School is committed to improving outcomes in mathematics by creating a learning environment that provides relevant, authentic and differentiated learning opportunities for all students. Students from Foundation to Year 6 engage in mathematics lessons for at least 5 hours a week. During this time mathematics skills are explicitly taught during structured lessons which include tuning in activities and small group instruction.
The Mathematics curriculum is organised by the three strands of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. Each strand is organised by sub-strands. Sub-strands ground content descriptions under an appropriate concept, to provide both a focus and a clear sequence for the development of related concepts and skills within strands and across levels.
The proficiencies of Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning are fundamental to learning mathematics and working mathematically and are applied across all three strands Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.
At Noble Park Primary School, two interactive mathematics programs are provided to students to support their numeracy development at school and at home. Thse interactive programs are called Mathseeds and Mathletics and both are designed to build your child's confidence and skills in mathematics.
Mathseeds
Mathseeds makes early mathematics fun and engaging with interactive lessons, games, and rewards that keep students motivated. It focuses on fundamental skills like counting, addition, subtraction, and more. It is appropratie for students aged between 3 and 9.
