Our Junior School Mathematics program is designed to develop confident, capable and curious learners.
Our teaching focuses on three key strands: Number, Measurement and Space, Statistics and Probability (introduced at Year 3).
We aim to make mathematics meaningful and relevant to the 21st century by embedding the four key proficiencies: understanding, fluency, problem solving and reasoning into our lessons. These proficiencies ensure students are not only learning mathematical concepts but also applying them to real-life situations, making informed decisions, justifying their reasoning, and solving problems with confidence and creativity.
Teachers work collaboratively to analyse student data and plan targeted lessons that reflect the needs and interests of our learners. Explicit teaching strategies are used to ensure clarity and structure, guiding students through new concepts with intentional teaching. Students are supported to set individual learning goals, helping them take ownership of their progress and develop a growth mindset.
Students engage in open-ended tasks, use hands-on materials and digital tools, and explore mathematical ideas through real world investigations. Reflection and discussion are built into each lesson, encouraging students to articulate their thinking and deepen their understanding.
Our goal is to provide every student with access to essential mathematical knowledge and skills that will support their success, both in school and in their future personal and professional lives.
