PR1ME Maths Parent Information

At St Kilian’s PS, we teach Maths using the PR1ME program. This is a world-class program based on the highly effective teaching and learning approaches of Singapore, designed to embed a deep understanding of Mathematical concepts. Research suggests that students in the primary years require a logical structure for learning that gives them the ability to do, understand and learn Maths with confidence. They need repeated practice to embed the learning of processes using consistent approaches and methods as well as gradually building on what they have previously learned. PR1ME does all this.

With PR1ME, as with all good programs, teachers explore and work through content with the students and match the pace and selection of coverage according to each individual's capabilities and needs.

PR1ME uses the concrete-pictorial-abstract approach to teaching and also Direct Instruction, like Spelling Mastery.
