Mathematics
We support all students to achieve a high standard of proficiency in Mathematics. Our comprehensive curriculum is organised by three strands – Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.
Lessons in Mathematics are carefully planned and based on the Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) model. This means that teachers explain and model new concepts and skills before guiding students to practise new skills in an interactive and responsive environment.
Instructional time in Mathematics
At Clayton South Primary School, students engage in approximately 5 hours of Mathematics instruction per week. The curriculum is designed to develop the four interconnected proficiencies of Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning.
