Throughout the year the teaching staff of the school undertake Twilight sessions that focus on a host of different aspects of whole school development. 

Yesterday evening, our Numeracy co-ordinator Mr Doyle took the lead as the staff came together to put the spotlight on the seven mental maths strategies namely counting on/counting back, re-ordering, partitioning, using equivalence, using factors, inverse operations and rounding/adjusting.

Each teacher was given the task of coming up with a fun and interactive game associated with a particular strategy. The end products produced some wonderful learning opportunities and everyone is enthused to bring these back and implement them into the classroom.

On that note, there will be a Numeracy parental workshop held at 3pm on Wednesday 4th December that will have a mental maths strategies theme embedded within it. More details on this to follow!
