FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
Teaching Mathematics has changed significantly in the last twenty years. In the past Mathematics was drill, practise, formula and for many students inaccessible. The approach to teaching Mathematics now involves problem solving, questioning, strategy, wondering, patterning and finding efficient ways to resolve a problem. Below is an example of the type of learning experience, questioning and thinking that classroom teachers use in Mathematics. See how you go.
Mathematics is taught after recess, where possible, every day. Have you ever thought about coming into your child’s classroom? I’m sure they would love to have you. Please contact your child’s teacher if you would like to come in on a regular basis or just a one-off visit.
