At Somerville Rise Primary School, we aim to make maths meaningful, engaging, and accessible for every student. Our teaching is guided by the Victorian Curriculum 2.0, which ensures that students develop a strong understanding of:

• Number
• Algebra
• Measurement
• Space (shapes, location, mapping)
• Statistics
• Probability

We use a structured and supportive approach that builds on what students already know, gradually introducing new concepts in ways that make sense to them. Lessons are hands-on and interactive, encouraging students to explore, ask questions, and make connections between maths and the world around them.

Our teachers explicitly model strategies, provide guided practice, and gradually release responsibility to students so they can confidently solve problems independently. We also use ongoing assessment to understand each child’s strengths and areas for growth, allowing us to provide personalised support and challenge.
