numeracy instructional model
The Numeracy Instructional Model pictured below is our consistent approach to the teaching and learning of Numeracy at Melrose Primary School.
Our Numeracy Instructional Model was collaboratively developed by the staff at Melrose Primary School and is delivered consistently across the school from F-6. Students across the school participate in Numeracy lessons that encompass a warm up, mini lesson and task time. Throughout each of these elements, students are exposed to Vocabulary specific to the content and reasoning opportunities.

Numeracy planning template
From Foundation to Grade 6, each unit plans Numeracy lessons using this consistent planning template. The document ensures explicit planning for each classroom in the school, guided by the Numeracy Instructional Model.

The Numeracy Supporting Document supports Numeracy planners in developing a greater understanding of the proficiencies and what you will see teachers/students doing within each of these.

unit scope and sequence documents
The Scope and Sequence documents provide a term overview for each unit, outlining which Numeracy concepts should be taught at what stage.
Units are introduced in Semester 1 and repeated again in Semester 2 to enable revision, consolidation and extension of students understanding and skills.
Our Scope and Sequence documents are guided by each units "Big Idea", which is the overarching concept that is taught and intertwined into all other mathematical concepts. The Big Ideas allow for repeated exposure of the most important mathematical concepts within each unit.

supporting a community of mathematicians
In Term 1, at the beginning of each school year- All students at Melrose participate in a variation of the "Developing a community of Mathematicians” unit of work. This unit supports students to understand the norms and routines of the Numeracy hour and allows them to understand how and when to use a range of problem solving strategies.
Developing a community of Mathematicians 2023.pdfProblem solving strategies
Problem solving strategies
In our Numeracy lessons at Melrose Primary School, we have a shared focus on building students understanding of mathematical concepts, as well as being able to use their knowledge in a meaningful way.
We use the below Problem Solving Strategies poster across the school in order to teach our students effective strategies to solve problems.
Strategies used differs between units, sequentially building students repertoire of useable strategies over their schooling journey.
6 Steps to problem solving
6 Steps to problem solving
At Melrose Primary School we teach our students to solve mathematical problems using the 6 Steps to Problem Solving. The learn how to read worded problems and identify the important information that they need to know. They experiment with solving the problem using the Problem Solving Strategies, and reflect on their process and response. Students learn to explain and justify their working out to build their reasoning skills.

The Numeracy Strategic Plan guides the work of the Numeracy Instructional Leader, Numeracy Curriculum Team and whole school work in Numeracy.
Documented inside the plan are the school-wide goals for Numeracy, as well a progress tracker to enable collaborative conversations about the progress of the outlined goals.
2023-2024 Strategic plan.docxTHE PROFICIENCIES
At Melrose Primary School, we are guided by a proficiency based planning model. The four mathematical Proficiencies; understanding, fluency, problem solving and reasoning, are covered within the teaching elements of our Instructional Model. During our Numeracy lessons, we aim to build our students competencies and confidences in each of the four proficiencies.

Rich numeracy tasks
To guide our planning, we ensure that tasks students engage with during Numeracy are rich; to maximise learning opportunities for our students.
Tasks differ between units and concepts, however our belief stands that each lesson students are participating in activities that extend their mathematical knowledge.
Below are the values of the Melrose Primary School staff, outlining the features we understand to be prevalent and important within rich mathematical tasks.
