At Kalgoorlie Primary School, we believe every child can thrive in mathematics when they are supported with high‑quality instruction, clear learning pathways, and opportunities to build confidence through success. Our mathematics program is designed to give students strong foundations while nurturing curiosity, problem‑solving, and a genuine enjoyment of learning.
In 2026, our early years classrooms from Kindergarten to Year 2 are implementing the Explicit Maths Program, which is grounded in explicit direct instruction. This structured and highly effective approach helps students develop deep number sense and essential mathematical skills through clear, purposeful teaching and carefully sequenced lessons. Guided practice and hands‑on learning reinforce understanding and build mastery, ensuring our youngest learners grow into confident, capable mathematicians from the very beginning of their schooling journey.
From Years 3 to 6, students learn through Oxford Mathematics, a comprehensive program aligned with the Australian Curriculum. It offers rich tasks, real‑world applications, and thoughtfully scaffolded lessons that support all learners while encouraging them to extend their thinking. Students are empowered to apply their knowledge, reason mathematically, and tackle increasingly complex problems with confidence.
Across all year levels, our commitment is to ensure every student experiences success in mathematics. We focus on evidence‑based teaching, consistent instructional practices, strong foundations for future learning, and a positive, inclusive environment where every child can grow as a thinker, problem‑solver, and lifelong learner.
