Numeracy

Our Mathematics program aims to develop our students’ mastery of basic number skills, their strategies to solve complex problems and to continually build on previous learning through daily retrieval and targeted practice sessions.

At Langwarrin Primary School, we develop learning sequences that provide a positive, engaging and, where practical, hands-on learning experience, that targets the needs of our students.  These learning sequences include a variety of structured learning, where teacher directed small group, paired and individual sessions are tailored to whether students are embedding, consolidating or applying their learning.

Our teachers utilise a range of technologies and resources to engage our students in their learning and to assess our students’ progress.  Students are identified if they need further support with their learning and this is provided both within the classroom and through extra small group support sessions, as part of our LEAP Program.  In addition to extension activities within the classroom, excelling maths students can participate in the APSMO Maths Olympiad and Maths Games and VHAP programs.

Langwarrin Primary School prides itself on being up to date with developments in Mathematics education and regularly upskills our staff to deliver maths sessions that reflect the latest research and best meet the needs of our students.  Developing positive cultures around mathematics and setting up students for success in the future drives our leadership, teachers and support staff everyday.
