EAST BEECHBORO PRIMARY OPERATIONAL PLAN 4-6 NUMERACY 2015 February 2015 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. they construct their own mathematical knowledge when 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 encouraged and promoted. School Priority – To improve student performance in Mathematics with concentration on Number and Algebra. Geometry, Measurement and Statistics and Probability. Support: SCSA website, Western Australian Curriculum and First Steps strategies: Number and Algebra Aspect: Measurement & Geometry Aspect: Statistics and Probability Aspect: Number & Place Value Real Numbers Fractions & Decimals Money & Financial Maths Patterns & Algebra Linear & Non-Linear relationships Using Units of Measurement Shape Location & Transformation Geometric Reasoning Chance Data Representation & Interpretation An emphasis on the Language associated with all Aspect of Mathematics. Early Intervention: Early identification and case management of students at risk. Analysis of NAPLAN Ears data. Review of NAPLAN Triangulation data to inform target setting and planning. D:\886449829.doc Outcomes School Targets: NAPLAN Data Indicators of Success NAPLAN Aspirational Targets Year 5 Bottom 20% 2014: 24% 2015 Year 5 Bottom 20% 20% Year 5 Top 20% 2014: 15% Year 5 Top 20% 20% Integration of Mathematical skills and knowledge across Learning Areas. Addressing the needs of all children eg. Early intervention / extension. Developing appreciation and respect for Maths by a positive classroom atmosphere. To improve Numeracy Achievement levels in students Year 4 – 7 by: Understanding and developing practical applications of Mathematical skills and knowledge. Year 4 Benchmark Instant recall of all times tables to 10x10 Calculate durations of time using am and pm times. Convert seconds and minutes, hours and days, weeks and months, years and beyond Names and recognises all polygons, triangles and quadrilateral as either regular or irregular. Year 5 Benchmark Automatically identify factors and multiples with a given number Read a 24 hour clock to the minute. Convert between 12 and 24 hour time. D:\886449829.doc Strategies / Actions Resources Monitoring All teachers to use FSiM programme. Teachers will use DoE NAPLAN Planner. Western Australian Curriculum SCSA website NAPLAN Yr 4 and 6 students to complete NAPLAN 2014 test (at NAPLAN time.) Maths Learning Area Scope and Sequence documents including NAPLAN Practice resources. DoE on-line Learning Sequences Diagnostic Tasks in Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, Statistics and Probability used throughout the year. All teachers to address the relevant Key Understandings for Number & Algebra Measurement & Geometry Statistics & Probability Explicit teaching of basic number facts, operations, computations- year specific. Mathletics: Students to undertake regular sessions on Mathletics programme set by classroom teachers. Explicit teaching of tables. Automatic recall of all tables by end of Year 4. First Steps in Mathematics Hands on manipulative resources for all classrooms. Books connected with Maths through Literacy in Library. Teacher reference material in Library. Focus on early intervention strategies, diagnostic testing, IEPs, GEPs etc. Ensure time-tabling of 25% curriculum time for Numeracy teaching. (approximately 70 minutes per day in the morning). National Literacy and Numeracy week Activities Task / Assessment setting and tracking of Mathletics results. Computers, Interactive Whiteboards and relevant computer programmes and Internet sites. (including Mathletics) SCSA website (Judging Standards) Connect 3D objects with different net representations. Year 6 Benchmark Automatically identify prime, composite and square numbers Calculates durations of time from a timetable in 12 and 24 hour formats. Create and construct a net for at least one prism and pyramid. D:\886449829.doc
