Maths On The Move with Grade 1

The Grade One’s Are Taking Their Maths Lessons To The Streets Of Rowville

Maths On The Move Around Rowville 

This Term, the Grade 1 students will participate in a unique program called Maths On the Move. 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 will help to highlight for the Grade 1 students the many ways that we can make and use numbers in our everyday lives and how Maths surrounds us.

The Grade 1 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 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

Here are some photos from previous years 

We are looking forward to sharing this wonderful learning experience with Grade One’s families in a couple of  weeks time. A permission form has been placed on Operoo and an invitation for parents to be part of this hands-on learning experience.
