ACTIVE MATHS
Active Maths provides opportunities for the children of Ithaca Creek State School to get active through participating in physical activities that focus on basic number facts.
Improved learning outcomes in mathematics have been linked to children’s participation according to studies undertaken at the school.
Children have displayed heightened positive attitudes towards maths and physical activity when presented with the Active Maths Program.
Children in Years 2 to Year 7 are actively involved in a 30 minute games oriented lesson that reinforces the tables and maths facts being taught in the class at that time.
The games are not focused on winning, however they encourage all children to improve both in basic maths and with developing positive social interactions through activity.
At present we are developing an Active Spelling program which we will implement in 2007.
