2025 is off to a flying start. A huge welcome to all of our new students in Year 7 and those joining other year levels also. As we settle into the new year, we, in Mathematics really want to express our value for students’ academic performance and sense of wellbeing. Student confidence and understanding is a huge part of this. So, it seems very appropriate to remind our College community of the support we have available in Numeracy, shall any student feel like they need it. Below is a list of interventions and support that we offer across Numeracy. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly Maths team, Kara Salmon, the faculty Leader or Jade Hubben, Numeracy Learning Specialist.
Applying Mathematics skills to a real-life scenario = Numeracy at Mooroolbark College.
Numeracy at Mooroolbark College is woven into our Mathematics curriculum. Whilst we deliver specific Numeracy program in our Year 7 -9 classes and across the college, we value reasoning, creative thinking and problem solving through the application of Numeracy understanding applied to real world contexts.
Students are presented with a problem, need to collaborate with peers and think critically to investigate these, and draw conclusions. Students are required to reflect on these scenarios, identify their metacognition and develop transferable skills.
