At Sunbury Heights Primary School, we have a strong focus on numeracy where all students are supported to become confident and capable mathematicians. Our teachers use evidence-based strategies, data analysis, and targeted learning experiences to plan instruction that meets each student’s point of need. Classroom learning is differentiated, and students work closely with their teacher to develop their skills, set personal goals, and track progress in numeracy across a variety of contexts.

In numeracy we:

• • have a clearly documented and sequential curriculum based on The Victorian Curriculum
  • regularly involve students in number fluency activities
  • explicitly teach vocabulary associated with numeracy
  • use both formal and informal assessments to drive our teaching and to target the point of need of each student
  • assess for misconceptions and resolve issues identified
