At Waverley Meadows Primary School we create an environment where our students believe in their ability to succeed in mathematics. Students view themselves as mathematicians who love a challenge!
Our mathematics program is taught according to the Victorian Curriculum 2.0. Our teachers take a hands-on approach to teaching and use a range of concrete materials to support students’ learning.
Assessment and Reporting
Assessment practices across the school guide our maths program to ensure students are taught at their point of need. Extension and further learning takes place through regular problem-solving in the classroom where students justify and explain their responses and are encouraged to use a range of problem-solving skills such as trial and error, drawing diagrams, making a rule or patterns and organising their ideas in lists or tables.
Parents and Guardians receive continuous reporting updates each term in addition to end-of-semester reports on Compass.
A typical numeracy lesson will include:
Each classroom has a dedicated 5 hours of mathematics each week.
Digital Technology is used to support students learning through a range of platforms in each classroom.

Through these competitions, our school has earned a range of awards from Distinctions to High Distinctions, demonstrating the high level of mathematics being completed in our school.
