EAST BEECHBORO PRIMARY OPERATIONAL PLAN NUMERACY 2 to 3 2015 November 14th 2014 Numeracy is the ability to effectively apply Mathematics in everyday recreational and civic life and is vital to the quality of participation in Society. Beliefs About Mathematical Learning At EBPS we believe that students optimise Mathematical learning when There is a consistent whole school approach that reflects a sequential, developmental, inclusive learning across the phases of learning; taking into account all learning needs abilities and styles. Students construct their own mathematical knowledge, they participate in inquiry based, contextual, challenging, purposeful and engaging experiences where explicit teaching of focus concepts have served to underpin these experiences. The learning environment promotes risk taking and embraces mistakes as learning opportunities. The link between learning at school and home is promoted. School Priority To improve student performance in Number with a focus on Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, Statistics and Probability. Support: SCSA Website, Western Australian Curriculum and First Steps strategies. Number and Algebra Aspect: Measurement and Geometry Aspect: Statistics and Probability Aspect: Number & Place Value Fractions & Decimals Money & Financial Math Patterns & Algebra Units of Measurement Shape Location & Transformation Geometric Reasoning An emphasis on the Language associated with all Aspects. Early Intervention: Early identification and case management of students at risk. Analysis of Year Two NAPLAN assessment. NAPLAN teaching Strategies.

Numeracy teaching in a daily Numeracy Block. Number and Algebra Target setting in Number and Algebra established at the beginning of each term. Classroom teachers to: Deliver, review and plan for all students using a variety of Formative and Summative Assessments. Deliver, review and plan for all students , using NAPLAN testing Refer to the Western Australian Curriculum and the Australian Curriculum to inform content planning. Moderation using Achievement Standards through common assessment tasks in Year groups each term. Use daily practise of number facts. (e.g. facts to 10, facts to 20, skip counting, Times Tables) Use the language of Number and Algebra Use explicit teaching of calculating and computation strategies Use a variety of experiences to teach Number and Algebra(e.g. hands on, concrete, semi-concrete, abstract) Use environmental print to support learning. Use daily maths warm-ups Use of open-ended tasks to promote investigation and problem solving. Utilise repetitive practise Use sequential planning Promote the importance of using reasonable estimations Resources Western Australian Curriculum, SCSA website Australian Curriculum First Steps in Maths. WA Maths Learning Area Scope and Sequence documents including NAPLAN Practice resources. SCSA “On line” Learning Sequences. First Steps In Maths resources: Teachers’ reference material Calculators I-Pads. Environmental print. Mathletics. Manipulatives/Construction. Computers. Mini whiteboards. RIC Australian curriculum. Measurement tools. MAB blocks. Money Smart Program Year 2 Benchmark Tell time to the quarter to and past on analogue and digital clocks. Names and describes squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, kites, polygons, rhombus, trapeziums, cube, sphere, cone, cylinder, common pyramids and prisms. Year 3 Benchmark Tell time to the minute on digital and analogue clocks. Names and recognises key features of all 3D objects and their 2D view. Match these to their common nets. D:\841169591.doc Measurement and Geometry Classroom teachers to: Use explicit use of topics specific language. Use appropriate tools and equipment correctly. Utilise skills relating back to real life. Use sequential planning. Use environmental print. Using estimation should be a part of all measurement tasks. Use explicit teaching of comparing and ordering in measurement concepts. Use of classroom calendar for incidental teaching. Use Integration of technology. Use free play and direct instruction. Use collaborative group work. Mathletics program. Students undertake regular (daily) sessions on Mathletics programme set by classroom teachers. Year 3 NAPLAN Assessment to be delivered to Year 2s in September/October 2014. Continue to effectively use resources to help “At Risk” students. Mathletics Program Statistics and Probability Classroom teachers to: Use explicit use of topic specific language. Use a variety of chance experiments for students to engage in. Use a variety of topics and questions to be used to investigate and gather data. Expose students to a variety of graphs and tables. D:\841169591.doc
