Based on the students NAPLAN test results (where available), the results of the diagnostic Mathematics Number Test, DiMaths, and on-site observations from working with the students, in consultation with the school staff, create a plan to develop those basic Mathematical skills and understandings to support students to successfully progress through the Mathematics curriculum, where possible, aligned with their age and expected level of development.

The work to be undertaken through this proposal aims to furnish teachers and education aides with a range of strategies to support students to develop the basic proficiencies of “understanding”, “fluency”, “problem solving” and “reasoning” as required for Mathematics learning and as defined in the new Australian Curriculum – Mathematics.

EDN will support the plan’s implementation with on-site visits and external support.

Along with a prime focus on the five key (early childhood) understandings required for mathematical success, it could be expected that the plan will include a focus on strategies to develop and maintain each of the following items:

 common mathematical language across the school

 students’ basic facts knowledge across the four operations

 students’ understanding of place value

 students’ application of knowledge across the three Australian Curriculum: Mathematics strands.
