Numeracy Programme

The numeracy programme is designed to balance child-led explorations with teacher-guided learning experiences, fostering a comprehensive understanding of numeracy in young children. To provide children with a strong foundation in numeracy, learning must involve children actively engaging with and interpreting the world around them; supporting them to recognise the relevance of numeracy in their daily lives and develop the dispositions and abilities to apply numeracy skills purposefully in different contexts.

The numeracy component of the curriculum follows a structured scope and sequence, enabling children to learn, understand, and apply numeracy concepts through a developmentally progressive continuum. Numeracy concepts, skills, and language are systematically introduced through a range of developmentally appropriate experiences and pedagogical strategies.

Children are provided with ample time, support, and a variety of familiar open-ended materials to engage with teacher-guided numeracy learning experiences.

By providing a well-resourced environment and authentic learning experiences that are supported by our educators, children are able to develop a deeper understanding of numeracy, enhancing their problem-solving and reasoning abilities, as well as their capacity to represent, communicate, and make connections between numeracy concepts.

By embedding the teacher-guided numeracy learning experiences back within the broader inquiry-based curriculum, we ensure that numeracy learning is not isolated but integrated into a holistic educational experience, promoting a robust numeracy foundation for young children.
