Math

This term our focus is on Number Knowledge. Number knowledge is about understanding how to say, write, order, group and sequence whole numbers, decimals and fractions. This also includes recall of the basic facts.

Knowledge is those things that a student can instantly recall in order to think and use strategies. Number knowledge and strategy are equally important. The presence of instant recall is a pre-condition that allows higher level thinking to take place.

Are you interested in the differences between how your child learns maths now compared to how you were taught? Check out the NZ Maths website which has some really useful pages for families. It explains exactly what the Numeracy Project?is and has a helpful glossary of terms.
