The School Numeracy Plan

 We believe that a school should know what it is doing about developing student numeracy, should know how students are going in developing their numeracy and have development plans in place to improve student numeracy. A planning framework is outlined below and a process for reviewing and developing a school plan is described in an attachment. The framework requires a focus on school mathematics and numeracy across the curriculum.
 

School Numeracy Planning Framework
 

What we do at this school
 
  • Our vision and beliefs about numeracy
     
  • Our numeracy goals for our students
    For example,
    Enable all students to meet the standards set out in the Mathematics Framework. Provide opportunities for all students to enjoy mathematics and see how it is connected to the world.

  • Our current strategies, programs, projects in numeracy
    For example,
    General teaching and learning program
    At-risk students
    Assessment
    Curriculum planning and renewal
    Working with parents/carers
    Teacher development
    Our current priorities
