We aim to initiate a whole school numeracy plan. At this week's PLC we will present our ideas to the rest of the teaching staff. They will then be invited to input their own ideas. We will continue to update this site as our plan develops.

We had a PLC on Monday with all staff. During this we discussed our ideas and what other staff wanted. We have decided to have a small maths group including 1 ATA and three or so teachers. This group will now meet in the comming weeks and discuss the maths plan/policy further. This group will then develop what they think will work for the school and then bring it back to the rest of the staff for discussion and review.
 * WEEK 2-**

In our small Numeracy group we developed a draft copy of the numeracy principles we beleive to be important. This draft copy will be taken to all staff an then reassessed. DRAFT COPY To increase student exposure to numeracy and in doing so, increase expected outcomes · One hour dedicated numeracy daily of which at least two one hour sessions are in the morning block before recess. · Continued focus on concrete aids. Sacred Heart School believe students learn best from the concrete to abstract. · Focus on group work to cater for varying needs of each student · Individual student achievement handover from previous year
