Year 4 Overview |
In Year 4, Mathematics comprises approximately 45 hours of dedicated teaching and learning time per term. This equates to almost 20% of the total teaching time. Continued numeracy development is considered paramount and the general capability of Numeracy is developed through other aspects of the curriculum, in addition to this dedicated teaching time. Wherever possible explicit links are made to numeracy concepts in context of other curriculum areas.
