At Bolinda Primary School, we provide a supportive and stimulating environment for the development of mathematics skills, following the Victorian Curriculum. Mathematics is divided into different areas, such as Number & Algebra, Measurement & Geometry, and Statistics & Probability.

​

Students engage in at least five hours of mathematics each week, with high-quality teaching based on a whole school lesson structure model that includes four parts: Tuning In (ENGAGE), Explicit Teaching (EXPLAIN), Collaborative Learning (EXPLORE), Supported Practice (ELABORATE), and Reflection (EVALUATE).

​

Our guiding principles for all maths lessons include an engaging tuning-in activity, an explicit purpose for each lesson, a formal structure, students working on tasks at and beyond their current levels, teacher communication of high expectations, and the establishment of classroom norms.

​

Flexible groupings are created to cater to the needs of students at different levels. Problem-solving is integrated into all maths units, and intervention and extension are provided by our Personalised Learning Approach.

​

Bolinda PS is well-resourced with maths equipment at both the whole school and classroom levels, and technology is embedded throughout all units. Students have access to Essential Assessments, and we utilise pre- and post-testing using these assessments.
