The major Mathematics assessment tool at Hampton PS is a school-wide digital resource called Essential Assessment. Teachers can set pre-assessments in any area of Mathematics that will be the unit focus. This allows for individual differentiation and helps teachers to set the direction of focused group and whole-class teaching and learning. The proficiencies of Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning are fundamental to the 3 strands of Mathematics.
