Numeracy

At St Paul’s we teach Mathematics using Origo’s Stepping Stones program from Grades 1 - 6. Foundations will work slightly differently with a larger amount of time spent on counting and reading, writing, and ordering numbers.

 The Stepping Stones program ensures that every resource, solution and service that is provided is based on research.  Origo Stepping Stones uses a range of the ten most effective influences, according to Hattie, relating to student achievement including - Spaced Practice, Piagetian approach to teaching concepts and skills, development of mathematical language and vocabulary and classroom discourse. 

Mathematics lessons are scheduled for one hour each day and are taught in grade level groupings. There will be 2 classes per Grade level across the school, which will form mathematics teaching pairs.
