Numeracy learning at Terang College focuses on building essential mathematical understanding and problem-solving skills. Students are supported to apply numeracy confidently in real-world contexts across all stages of learning.
At Terang College, numeracy is a core life skill that empowers students to think logically, solve problems, and confidently engage with the world around them. Our approach to numeracy is consistent, evidence-based, and aligned with the Victorian Curriculum across Foundation to Year 12.
We believe all students can succeed in mathematics when teaching is explicit, structured, and responsive to individual learning needs.
Numeracy instruction at Terang College is grounded in cognitive science and effective classroom practice. Teachers explicitly model mathematical thinking and provide regular opportunities for practice, discussion, and application.
Key features of our numeracy approach include:
Clear learning intentions and success criteria
Explicit teaching of mathematical concepts and skills
Frequent checks for understanding
Guided and independent practice
Use of concrete, visual, and abstract representations
Lessons are structured to build strong conceptual understanding alongside procedural fluency.
Numeracy at Terang College is not just about learning mathematics. It is about developing confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills that students will use throughout their lives.
Our goal is for every student to leave Terang College numerate, capable, and ready to meet future challenges with confidence.
