Learning and Teaching

Learning Mathematics at St Louis de Montfort's

At St Louis we strive to develop a strong foundation in mathematics for all students. 

In line with the MACS Vision for Mathematics Instruction we use Explicit Instruction to provide structured and clear guidance to help students grasp mathematical concepts and develop essential skills. All classes participate in Daily Reviews in mathematics to ensure that students are constantly revising previously taught concepts which allows them to transfer their learning to long term memory, which in turn enables them to readily attend to new learning.

At St Louis we believe that all students deserve to reach their potential in mathematics. We use individual student learning goals to support students at their point of need and to ensure all students continue to build on their current knowledge and understanding. We provide opportunities for students to access additional support through our Maths Intervention Program and further extension through problem solving challenges in the Maths Olympiad Program.

We are constantly refining our teaching pedagogy in light of current research and our mathematics lessons are always tailored to the students, aim to provide clarity and depth of understanding whilst maintaining engagement.
