Students will be encouraged to investigate, problem solve and develop ways to record understandings. Practical activities and open-ended tasks will be the basis of learning experiences. Our mathematics lessons will have the following elements: Number Sense, Modelled instruction, Guided Practice, Independent Practice. 

Number & Algebra - Patterns and Algebra (identifying missing numbers), Whole Number (grouping, partitioning and rearranging collections up to 1000), Addition and Subtraction (split strategy) and Multiplication (groups and arrays).

Measurement & Geometry - 2D Space (describing and drawing 2D shapes), Position (mapping skills), Area (comparing and ordering shapes) and Volume and Capacity (comparing and ordering with informal units).
