Numeracy

The major numeracy assessment tool at Hampton PS is a school-wide digital resource called Essential Assessment. This resource does not require an app but the Essential Assessment icon can be added to the home screen of any iPad for easy reference. This resource allows teachers to set pre-assessments in any area of maths. Assigned tasks are automatically set for skills that were not evident in the pre-tests. This allows for individual differentiation and helps class teachers to set the direction of focused group and whole class teaching and learning.
