Numeracy at EEPS

At Eltham East Primary School, our mathematics program is aligned with the Victorian Curriculum – Mathematics 2.0.

At Eltham East Primary School, we deliver a challenging and engaging mathematics program aligned with the Victorian Curriculum. Our program is designed to develop students' numeracy skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities, equipping them to apply mathematics creatively and confidently in real-world contexts.

We explicitly teach the six content strands—Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics, and Probability—while embedding the four proficiencies: Understanding, Fluency, Reasoning, and Problem-Solving.

Teachers use a variety of strategies, including explicit teaching, hands-on activities, open-ended tasks, and real-world problem-solving, to meet the needs of diverse learners. Rich discussions, visual tools, ICT, and purposeful games foster engagement and deepen understanding.

Our approach ensures students build confidence, mathematical knowledge, and a sense of curiosity through practice, inquiry, and active participation in meaningful learning experiences.
