Primary School
Mathematics Curriculum Reform & ImprovementThe integration of Explicit Teaching, hands-on learning, Daily Review, and Math Mastery establishes a robust Mathematics pathway from Foundation to Year 6. This approach ensures:
- high engagement in every lesson
- strong conceptual and procedural understanding
- opportunities for modelling, guided practice, and independent mastery
- consistent instructional routines across year levels
- targeted, evidence-based learning experiences for all students
Daily Review: Strengthening Retention and Deepening Understanding
Every Mathematics lesson begins with a Daily Review, a short, high-impact routine that reinforces previously taught skills and concepts.
Daily Review targets:
-
- number fact fluency
- core mathematical knowledge
- strategies and processes
- vocabulary and terminology
- previously learned content that requires maintenance
This daily retrieval practice supports long-term retention, reduces cognitive load during new learning, and strengthens students’ mathematical fluency and confidence.
Math Mastery
Mastering The Building Blocks of Mathematics (Yr 3 – 6)
For students in Years 3–6, we have implemented Math Mastery, a structured and cumulative program designed to reinforce and deepen students’ core Mathematical skills.
Features of Math Mastery
- Highly structured lessons focused on essential numeracy skills
- Cumulative practice, revisiting key concepts regularly
- Clear routines that build confidence and consistency
- Short, targeted lessons designed to maximise focus and impact
- Hands-on materials and visual supports to strengthen conceptual understanding
Benefits for Students
- Stronger number sense and improved fluency
- Greater confidence and independence
- Reduced skill gaps
- Enhanced retention of key concepts
- Better preparedness for complex problem-solving
Math Mastery aligns seamlessly with our Explicit Teaching model, ensuring continuity and coherence across the primary years.
These curriculum reforms reinforce our school’s commitment to excellence in Mathematics and position the school as a place where learners thrive, teaching is deliberate and effective, and success is achievable for every student.
