Making Every Day Count

St Andrews is Making Everyday Count!  Each day, the students at St Andrews answer 3 or 5 Maths questions to build their numeracy skills.  This is important not only to improve their NAPLAN and PAT-M scores or pass their Minimum Standard Test but also for them to develop confidence and skills to use maths to solve problems in everyday life.  

As parents and carers, we play a significant role in setting expectations, nurturing curiosity and encouraging a love for learning.  We can help them build their numeracy by being positive about their numeracy experiences and recognise their effort and perseverance.  We need to let them know that they can be successful, and if they did not get it at first try, that they keep trying and learn from their mistakes.  So the next time that you go to the shops or decide what deals to take, get your child involved in the decision making process and talk aloud when working out the problem.  

Here are other ways when Numeracy is at work in our day-to-day life.
