Mathematics

Dunsborough Primary School offers an engaging and exciting Mathematics program which reflects the current Western Australian Curriculum. We cater for all student needs to ensure they have opportunities to experience growth and success in Mathematics.

Across the school, all classes provide numeracy blocks which have four key elements. There is a whole school focus on developing student’s mental computation skills through daily practice. For students to be able to justify and explain their understanding, Mathematics vocabulary is incorporated into all lessons. Explicit instruction is a key component of our numeracy blocks, followed by the opportunity for all students to engage in differentiated learning activities. Small targeted focus groups, whole class learning, or one to one instruction with the classroom teacher is provided. The Early Years teachers provide many hands-on, authentic learning experiences.

Students are given ongoing feedback about their learning.
