At Lesmurdie Primary School we deliver consistent, high-quality numeracy teaching that supports students to develop numerical literacy and confidence in their ability to work mathematically. Our whole-school approach ensures purposeful, connected learning from Pre-primary to Year 6, grounded in research and aligned with clear expectations across all year levels. 

Each class implements a daily Numeracy Block that includes regular reviews, clear learning goals, and engaging, hands-on activities. Teachers use strategies from our professional learning with Dr Paul Swann, focusing on games, materials, and real-world applications to deepen understanding.

In the early years, a strong emphasis is placed on the development of mathematical language and concepts through intentional play-based learning and the manipulation of everyday objects, helping students connect maths to their world. In the middle and upper years, flexible grouping enables targeted teaching—providing support, as appropriate and extending those ready for challenge.

Collaboration and consistent planning across year levels ensure all students experience a cohesive and supportive learning journey. Teachers use a variety of assessments to monitor progress and adjust teaching to meet student needs.

With ongoing staff development, including training in the updated WA Maths Curriculum, we are committed to delivering excellence in numeracy education for every learner.
