Maths News
Welcome back to another school year sure to be filled with lots of great maths learning!
Teachers have been busy assessing their students in Maths to identify where they are in their learning and to understand their current strategies and misconceptions. This information guides teachers in planning targeted next steps to ensure teaching is responsive and focused on moving each learner forward.
This year, we will continue to include high impact teaching strategies in our Maths lessons to ensure that our students are active participants in the learning process at all times. Regular reviews of maths concepts and skills will also occur daily, so that students have the opportunity to rehearse and retrieve information often and provide opportunities for frequent checks for understanding to ensure that we are targeting their needs.
BEBRAS
This year, the main round of Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge will be held in Term 1 from Monday, 9 February to Sunday, 8 March. Bebras is a fun and engaging computational thinking challenge for students in Years 3 to 6. It is an international challenge that involves over 2.9 million students from 60 countries. In Term 4, a FREE follow-up event will be held to celebrate international Bebras Week.
If you would like your child to participate in the BEBRAS challenge, please email Anna Hendy ASAP with an expression of interest. A permission form will be sent out next week.
