Numeracy

Holy Trinity offers a rich mathematical program that is tailored to meet every student’s specific needs. The mathematics program at Holy Trinity is designed using student data from a variety of testing to achieve targeted and meaningful learning. Teachers ensure students participate in small explicit teacher groups that are targeted at their point of need, whether that be supporting or extending the learning of each student. Numeracy and problem-solving skills are essential not only for school but for life. At Holy Trinity we aim to grow each student’s mathematical understanding.

Mathematics at Holy Trinity is aligned with the six strands of the Victorian Curriculum; Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability. In the classroom, there is opportunity to learn with concrete materials, connect maths to real world contexts, and integrate learning into different curriculum areas such as Art and Science. Mathematics is brought to life in our STEM program as well as in many of our digital technology programs such as coding and digital graphing.

Holy Trinity is fortunate to have a Mathematics Leader who is able to collaborate with teachers to create data driven lessons as well as provide weekly professional development to ensure we are using current best practice. The Mathematics Leader facilitates or oversees a range of programs to help enrich the mathematical understanding of all students.
