Numeracy

At Ceres Primary School we offer a comprehensive numeracy program which provides students with a strong grounding in mathematical skills, strategies and understandings.

Our aim is to support students in becoming numerate and use mathematics skills effectively so that they can successfully participate at school, at home and in the wider community. Numeracy programs at Ceres Primary School are founded on the expectation that all children will develop a strong sense of number and build their capacity in Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning.

Our daily Numeracy Program includes a warm up to promote mathematical fluency, explicit teaching of concepts and understandings, and opportunities to apply knowledge to problem solving situations. Each Numeracy session is concluded with an opportunity to reflect on learning and to share successful strategies.
