Numeracy

We are very impressed with all of the 1/2 students and their mathematical thinking, talking and problem solving during Term 1. During Term 2, we look forward to further exploring a range of problem solving tasks using a range of different strategies. The 1/2 teachers are extremely proud of their student's resilience, persistence and excitement during numeracy lessons. 

This term, the Level 1/2 students will be covering the following topics:
