Numeracy

At St. John’s students learn to develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes, and are able to pose and solve a range of mathematical problems. Our students competently learn to reason in Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, Statistics and Probability, while applying their skills and strategies to solve a variety of equations and problems.

The mathematic's curriculum supports students to become self-motivated, confident learners through active participation in challenging and engaging experiences.

Learning in Numeracy is supported by:

• Focus groups to differentiate the learning

• Explicit mathematical teaching using the Victorian Curriculum

• Mathletics online programs

• Intervention programs including GRIN (Getting Ready In Numeracy)

• BEBRAS online computational thinking challenge

• Australian Mathematics Competitions

• Extension programs

• Celebrating Literacy and Numeracy Week

• ICT devices and Google Apps For Education

• Coding Club
