Numeracy Home Learning:

Throughout the year, students will work towards a series of numeracy goals that reflect the curriculum concepts being taught in the classroom. These include skills such as counting forwards and backwards (beginning with 0–20 and extending beyond 20 once fluency is achieved), identifying and justifying before and after numbers, correct number formation, partitioning to 10 (making 10), and understanding days of the week (yesterday was, today is, tomorrow will be).

Similar to literacy progression, students will move through their numeracy goals as their classroom teacher identifies fluency of each skill, ensuring they build strong foundational skills and confidence in their mathematical understanding.

When you click on the link that matches the numeracy goal your child is currently working on, you will be directed to a PDF outlining the relevant activities to practise that skill. Within the activity sheet, you will also find additional links to resources that support the completion of each task.

Numeracy activities are designed to be practical and engaging, sometimes using simple household items such as a deck of cards, small toys, and recycled materials. Some activities include a WebLink to watch a short video modelling how to play the game, particularly where written instructions are minimal or not provided. This ensures you feel confident supporting your child’s learning at home.

If you would like to further extend your child’s learning, you may wish to refer to the Victorian Curriculum Mathematics framework for an overview of grade-level expectations. This information can assist you in deciding whether to provide additional extension opportunities or to continue consolidating skills aligned with your child’s current year level.

A brief outline of the skills required at the end of each grade level is shown below.
