In this section there are a collection of resources, photos and a few short clips that demonstrate Mathematics lessons in Kindergarten. Throughout the year students will develop an understanding of numbers, counting, measurement and time through modelled and guided instruction, followed by a range of independent hands on activities and experiences.
The focus of Mathematics instruction is to develop a deep understanding of how numbers work together to solve problems. Over the year, and throughout their schooling, students are provided with opportunities to apply their mathematical understanding across all curriculum areas.

Talking about simple mathematics at home.
Talking about simple mathematics at home.
Young students develop important mathematical thinking through everyday experiences that they have at home. You can help to support this development by talking about mathematics when you are cooking, shopping, or by spotting numbers in the environment.
Daily routine
Daily routine
Talk with your child about the order of events throughout the day. You might also like to discuss the difference between weekdays and weekends and practise sequencing the days of the week.
Marking time
Marking time
Marking days on a calendar or counting down to something exciting. This helps students to understand how numbers are important in everyday life, as well as providing an opportunity to practice counting together.
Dice games
Dice games
Simple dice games such as Snakes and Ladders or Trouble are an excellent way to help develop your child’s early understanding of number and gameplay. They also help to develop social and communication skills, and they are fun to play together!
