Numeracy

The students continued to impress us with their mathematical thinking, talking and problem solving in Term 2. This term, we will continue to further explore a range of problem solving tasks using a range of different strategies. The 1/2 teachers were incredibly proud of the mathematical growth made by the students last semester, and are excited to see continued progress this term.
