Maths on the Move Around Town Program for Preps
St Simons Primary School
We Are Taking Our Maths Lessons To The Streets Of Rowville in Prep
This program is subject to COVID restrictions as per the Catholic School Educational Guidelines.
In two weeks time, the Prep students will participate in a unique program called Maths On the Move Around Town. The students participate in maths trails outside the school grounds around Rowville. A Maths Trail is an organised walk through an area close to St Simon’s where students experience maths in the real world.
Maths On the Move Around Town will help to highlight for the Prep students the many ways that we can make and use numbers in our everyday lives and how Maths surrounds us. We would like to invite Prep families to join in this Learning experience with us, however you will require a current Working With Children’s Check and signed the Volunteer Code of Conduct form.
The Prep students will investigate various Mathematical concepts in small groups with the guidance of teachers, the School Maths Leader and of course our wonderful families.
The main aims of the Maths On The Move Around Town are:
- foster family engagement in maths
- share the methodology of teaching maths in the early years
- help children to see maths in everyday life
- connect with the wider community
- build a spark for maths
We are looking forward to sharing this wonderful learning experience with Prep families.
