At Ormiston Junior College we focus on the knowledge of the world around each of our learners, helping to visualise, develop and be confident in their own unpacking, thinking and understanding of mathematical concepts.
At OJC we believe we all have maths brains and are able to map our own journey with guidance from Learning Coaches. We are here to support your child in that journey and celebrate the successes along the way.
We recognise and frame our teaching practice around Jo Boaler and her Mathematics Revolution.
How to Learn Math is a free self-paced class for learners of all levels of mathematics. It combines really important information on the brain and learning with new evidence on the best ways to approach and learn math effectively. Many people have had negative experiences with math, and end up disliking math or failing. This class will give learners of math the information they need to become powerful math learners, it will correct any misconceptions they have about what math is, and it will teach them about their own potential to succeed and the strategies needed to approach math effectively. If you have had past negative experiences with math this will help change your relationship to one that is positive and powerful.
