Our rich mathematics program is guided by the Victorian Curriculum 2.0, ensuring teaching and learning is aligned with current content descriptors and achievement standards. Students engage in dedicated numeracy lessons each week, combining explicit instruction of skills with opportunities to apply them in authentic contexts that deepen understanding. Lessons also include spaced interleaved retrieval practice (daily reviews) to revisit prior knowledge, strengthen connections and combat the forgetting curve, ensuring learning is retained and built upon over time. There is a strong focus on building numeracy specific vocabulary to assist students as they approach new and complex tasks.

​

The curriculum is organised into 6 interrelated strands. The strands group the content descriptions, to provide both a focus and a clear sequence for the development of related concepts and skills across levels. The 6 strands are:​

• Number

• Algebra

• Measurement

• Space

• Statictics (commencing at Foundation Level C)

• Probability (commencing at Level 3) 

​​

Numeracy teaching develops students’ ability to think and work mathematically across all strands of the curriculum, with a focus on the four proficiencies:

• Understanding: knowing the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of mathematics, connecting concepts and representing thinking in multiple ways.

• Fluency: recalling facts, choosing appropriate strategies and making reasonable estimates (without an emphasis on speed).

• Problem Solving: applying mathematical thinking to real-world and in-school problems through investigation, modelling and questioning.

• Reasoning: making predictions, analysing, justifying and transferring learning between contexts.
