Curriculum:

At Tinternvale Primary School, we use the Victorian Curriculum 2.0 to guide our teaching and learning in Numeracy. Mathematics provides students with essential mathematical knowledge, skills, procedures and processes in number, algebra, measurement, space, statistics and probability. Students in all year levels are timetabled to receive a minimum of five hours of numeracy per week.

The Mathematics Curriculum at Tinternvale Primary School aims to ensure that students:

• Develop useful mathematical and numeracy skills for everyday life and work, as active and critical citizens in a technological world.
• Become confident, proficient, effective and adaptive users of mathematics.
• Become effective communicators of mathematics who can investigate, represent and interpret situations, think critically and make choices as active, engaged, numerate citizens.  
• Develop proficiency with mathematical concepts, skills, procedures and processes and use them to demonstrate mastery in mathematics as they pose and solve problems and reason with number, algebra, measurement, space, statistics and probability.
• Make connections between areas of mathematics and apply mathematics to model situations in various fields and disciplines.
• Develop a positive disposition towards mathematics, recognising it as an accessible and useful discipline to study.
• Appreciate mathematics as a discipline – its history, ideas, problems and applications, aesthetics and philosophy.
