Numeracy

At Crib Point Primary School numeracy is based around The Victorian Mathematics Curriculum, which provides students with essential mathematical skills and knowledge in Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics & Probability.

Students are taught through an Explicit Instruction approach. Lessons includes:

• Mental Fluency using Numbots (F-2) and Times Tables Rock Stars (3-6)
• Explicit Teaching/Instruction:
  • Daily Reviews
  • Learning Intention/Success Criteria
  • Modelling
  • Guided & Independent Practice
  • Closing/Reflection

The numeracy program helps students gain a greater understanding of mathematics through whole-group, small-group, and individual catch-up and extension teaching.
Students participate in pencil and paper activities, open-ended investigations (of taught/mastered concepts), working in small groups, sharing skills and knowledge, using computer-based software and exploring problems in real world contexts. The numeracy program helps students to gain a greater understanding of mathematics in their world so that they can solve problems in their day to day lives.
