An essential component of Mathematics is the development of students’ ability to Work Mathematically. This includes the skills of Communicating, Problem Solving, Reasoning, Understanding and Fluency. 

Students’ ability to work mathematically is development through the achievement of outcomes and working with content of the Mathematics K-6 Syllabus. Content is organised within the following content strands: 

This term in Mathematics:

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. 

During Term 1  Year 2 will be involved in the following components:

Number & Algebra - Whole Number (Number sequences from 100 by 1s from any starting point, Recognise, model, represent and order numbers to 1000), Addition & Subtraction (Connections between +/-, the jump strategy)

Statistics and Probability - Data (Posing questions and collecting data)

Measurement & Geometry - Length (Compare, order length of shapes and objects), Time (Months, weeks, days, seasons), Position (Maps), 2D Space (Describing and drawing 2D shapes)
