Numeracy

All Numeracy lessons at NPS follow a clear ‘gradual release of responsibility’ model meaning all lessons are consistent with school priorities and goals. Consistency is key to supporting our students continual focus of being there best!

​

Newham Primary School has made significant updates to the format of numeracy sessions within our school. We continue to develop our numeracy teaching based solidly on the Big ideas in Number.

​

The Big Ideas in Number teaches the concepts of:

 

Trusting the Count

Place Value

Multiplicative Thinking

Partitioning

Proportional Reasoning

Generalising

​

As students progress through the primary school years, these are building blocks to a complete understanding of number sense.
