The Numeracy Project - Information for Parents
At Titirangi Primary, our Mathematics teaching is aligned with the NZ
Numeracy Project, which deals with understanding of numbers and
their application in mathematical problem solving. Click on the link below for more
information about the project, including ideas on how you can help your
child in this area of their learning.
Developing a confident and sophisticated grasp of Mathematics involves a range of interdependent skills, ideas and concepts. The
Numeracy Project, therefore, is designed as just
one component in
the teaching of Mathematics and the development of mathematical
understanding. Mathematical knowledge (often referred to as "strand" maths) also forms a crucial part of teaching and learning, and is taught
alongside the number-based project in the specific areas of
Number & Algebra,
Geometry & Measurement and
Statistics. These are also complemented by ongoing weekly
basic facts practice in every year group.
