We share learners progress with parents in multiple ways. We also understand that our parents come from different times and places so like to understand the strategies and progression of Mathematical teaching and learning at our school. The following documents support this for calculation,. More will be added for other areas of Mathematics in the future.
| calculation_-_addition.pdf |
| calculation_-_subtraction.pdf |
| calculation_-_multiplication.pdf |
| calculation_-_division.pdf |
Maths is a language of its own, however knowing key terms can be difficult for English Language Learners. To help, we have compiled a Mathematical dictionary. If you think you can help add a language spoken at ISK, please let us know.
