Download K-1 Numeracy Operational Plan - East Beechboro Primary School

EAST BEECHBORO PRIMARY 2015 NUMERACY OPERATIONAL PLAN K to 1
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 , Geometry, Measurement, Statistics and Probability.

point;
Match number names, numerals & quantities 0 - 10
Subitise to 10
Write numbers 0-20
Compare, order & make correspondences between
collections to 20 & give reasoning (using words such as,
first, second, more, less, same as & not the same as)
Represent / model addition and sharing (adding small
groups of numbers, such as visual displays or concrete
materials)
