What Happens In Numeracy Time
Mathematics at this level focuses on a variety of areas. Children learn about number, shape, patterns and data. Children take part in games, hands-on activities and solving real life problems to further their knowledge and skills in mathematics.
During Term 1 children are experiencing many activities related to numbers and place value, number patterns, addition, and data. Many of the activities have been related to real life situations for the Preps as they will be comparing their heights, eye colour, favourite pets and their birthday month. The children continually use their surrounding environment to explore mathematical concepts. This term the children will be spending many maths sessions playing games and completing work related to numbers.
During the year we are counting up to the 100th Day Of School, which we look forward to celebrating later on in the school year.
Each day we use our calendar to discuss numbers (eg. before and after), the month, season and days of the week.
