LEARNING AND TEACHING

Mathematics

At St Charles Mathematics is aligned with the three inter-related dimensions of the Victorian Curriculum; number and algebra, measurement and geometry and statistics and probability. In the classroom, there is an opportunity to learn with concrete materials, participate in projects with real-world meaning and integrate learning into different curriculum areas.  At St Charles, our focus is on developing deeper mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning, modelling and problem-solving. These capabilities enable students to respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations by employing mathematics to make informed decisions and solve problems efficiently.

Features of our Mathematics program consist of:

• Daily one-hour Numeracy block

• Explicit small focus group teaching 

• Mathematics intervention 

• Assessment and reporting mathematics development
