Plans
Building math communities to improving student attitudes to math, as well as the use of manipulatives and resources to support inquiry across all grades.
We will continue to expand and explore resources and manipulatives and design lessons that focus on creating independent problem solvers who use math terminology. We will support our students by increasing our use of manipulates in-class and design lessons that stimulate an inquiry stance. We will have an explicit focus on Geometry and Spatial Sense and Measurement for young students; and for our junior and intermediate students, our plan is to continue to work on the Measurement and Geometry and Spatial Sense strands with a focus on to support them in learning, developing and gaining confidence with their understanding and knowldge of numeracy.
