NUMERACY ON PRIMARY: THE SCIENCE OF LEARNING
At The Lakes, our approach to teaching Mathematics is guided by the latest research in the Science of Learning and the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0. In our Primary classrooms, lessons are designed to build confidence in young learners, using explicit teaching, carefully chosen worked examples, and a gradual release of responsibility. Teachers begin by explaining and modelling concepts, then guide students through examples together, before supporting them as they work independently. Throughout this process, teachers continually check for understanding, provide timely feedback, and offer targeted support and extension, ensuring every student is challenged at just the right level and develops a strong foundation in Mathematics.
DAILY REVIEW
One of the most effective ways to strengthen learning is through retrieval practice—recalling previously learned knowledge so it can be securely stored in long - term memory. At The Lakes, each Mathematics lesson begins with a Daily Review that revisits key concepts in a structured and logically spaced sequence. This routine reinforces retention, highlights areas where students may need further support, and prepares them for new learning. Using mini whiteboards, students actively engage with questions and receive instant feedback, making learning visible for both students and teachers.
