Numeracy

At Baringa, we are committed to optimising student learning outcomes by implementing effective teaching strategies in Numeracy. 

 

We believe that a strong foundation in mathematics is essential for students to develop the functional life skills required to be successful as adults. To ensure effective learning outcomes in mathematics, we employ evidence-based strategies, including providing a sequential curriculum, targeting students at their learning level.

 

At Baringa we engage in a variety of assessment practices including assessing for, as and of learning.  We use this information to scaffold students learning by breaking down mathematical concepts into smaller more manageable skills. Where possible we employ hands on learning activities and provide opportunities for students to transfer their skills into real life situations.  

 

This systematic approach allows students to build a solid mathematical foundation, building on previous knowledge to ensure they progress in their learning and throughout their schooling.
