At Hampton Park Primary School, our Mathematics Program is grounded in best practices and informed by current educational research. We take a systematic and explicit approach to instruction, ensuring that all learners are supported and challenged at their level. This structured approach empowers students to apply their mathematical knowledge confidently to solve a wide range of real-world problems.
We believe that, like our students, teachers thrive when curiosity is nurtured, and learning is scaffolded. Our teachers model lifelong learning by engaging in reflective practice, collaborating with peers, and embracing professional growth. In our classrooms, we foster a culture where students feel safe to take risks, think critically, and take ownership of their learning.
Recognising the importance of real-world application, we embed authentic learning opportunities into our Mathematics program. Students regularly engage with concrete materials and hands-on activities, allowing them to model and deepen their understanding of key mathematical concepts across all year levels.
Our comprehensive program focuses on developing strong conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and mathematical fluency. Through guided instruction, students build accuracy, flexibility, and efficiency in tackling various mathematical tasks.
Assessment is a vital component of our approach. Teachers use data from pre- and post-assessments, alongside the Victorian Curriculum, to track student growth and tailor instruction to meet diverse learning needs. Through ongoing collaboration, teachers share strategies, celebrate progress, and refine their practice to ensure every student can succeed.
At Hampton Park Primary School, we are committed to improving outcomes for all learners and cultivating a love of Mathematics. We strive to instill the belief that everyone is a mathematician, no matter where they are on their learning journey.
