2016 Campbell Primary School Annual Report
LEARNING AREA:
NUMERACY
Numeracy continued to be an area of focus
in 2016 with new teaching resources,
re-engagement with Numero and the use
of student achievement data to inform
classroom planning. Key strategies to
support improvement in this area have
included:
Initial trialling of Maths Online which has
resulted in Web 2.0 tool being adopted
as a whole school resource to facilitate
differentiation of Mathematics teaching for
2017;
Computer coding was adopted by the
Mathematics Committee as an enrichment
strategy across the school and introduced
into classrooms;
Highly successful Partnerships with Parents
sessions in Numero and Computer coding;
and
Both Campbell Literacy and Numeracy
testing and NAPLAN was provided to
teachers at the conclusion of the year to
enable targeted planning in 2017.
Future Recommendations:
Continue with Maths Online program to
support self-paced independent learning
and classroom differentiation through online
tools;
Implement case management approach in
Numeracy; and
Continue with Numeracy Blocks.
In 2016, the Numeracy targets set out to be
achieved in the 2016-2019 Business Plan are:

achieving 1.0 VEL or above in Pre-Primary.
