Boosting Math Skills with Math Walls!

Across our school, you'll find Math Walls in every classroom. These interactive displays are much more than just decoration. They're a central hub of information designed to help students articulate and improve their learning as they progress through each mathematics unit. Think of them as a readily available resource that enables students to take ownership of their learning.

When students need a little extra help or are feeling unsure about a concept, the Math Wall is often the first place they turn. It's a fantastic starting point for independent problem-solving and reinforcing understanding.

So, what exactly can you find on our Math Walls? They prominently feature our Learning Intentions and Success Criteria, clearly outlining what students are expected to learn and how they can demonstrate their understanding. You'll also see essential vocabulary specific to each unit, helping students build their mathematical language - student work samples, teacher modelled examples and anchor charts.

 

Term 2 Week 8-10 Learning!

Around the classrooms until the end of term, we are learning:

Early Stage 1 

Week 9 and 10.

Non-spatial Measure: Time

 Students will learn to sequence events and read hour time on clocks.

 

Stage 1 

Weeks 9 - 10.

Geometric Measurement: Length

Students will be measuring, comparing, and estimating lengths and distances using uniform informal units, as well as metres and centimeters.

 

Stage 2 

Weeks 9 - 10.

Two-dimensional Spatial Structure: Area

Students will be estimating, measuring, and comparing areas using square centimetres and square metres.

 

Stage 3 

Week 9 - 10.

Geometric Measure: Length

Students will be selecting and using the appropriate unit and device to measure lengths and distances, including perimeters.
