In Beaconhouse School System, we believe that building strong foundations in numeracy from an early age is key to lifelong learning. Our Mathletics and Numeracy Week, celebrated across the Lower Primary section, was a dynamic and joyful journey into the world of numbers, patterns, logic, and problem-solving.
In Grade1 and 2, classrooms transformed into vibrant hubs of mathematical exploration. Each day brought fresh opportunities for our young learners to develop their confidence and creativity with numbers, through play, collaboration, and real-world applications. Numeracy is more than arithmetic, it’s the ability to reason, analyze, and problem-solve. Through Mathletics and Numeracy Week, our goal was to develop not just skills, but also a positive attitude toward mathematics in our students.
Highlights of the Week
📘 Math sessions
Teachers brought numbers to life with interactive math-themed sessions. These sessions helped students connect numeracy concepts to engaging narratives and everyday experiences.
🎲 Math Games and Rotations:
Classrooms buzzed with excitement as students rotated through stations featuring games like number bingo, shape scavenger hunts, dice races, Mathletes think fast, Up the ladders- down the snakes, and Add it up- stack it up!. These hands-on activities made abstract concepts concrete and memorable.
💻 Mathletics Challenge in BRESHNA:
Our budding mathematicians logged into the BRESHNA, a Mathletics platform, where they competed in friendly challenges tailored to their level. Students practiced skills in number sense, addition, subtraction, and more—earning certificates and points along the way!
🧩 Math Puzzles:
Logic puzzles, Sudoku for beginners, pattern recognition games, and number mazes sharpened critical thinking. Students collaborated to solve problems and proudly presented their solutions.
📊 Real-Life Math Activities:
Our learners explored how math applies in daily life, through number machine role-plays etc. simulations reinforced how math is all around us.
Parent-Child Learning Moments
At Beaconhouse, we believe that the learning journey becomes truly meaningful when it is shared. During Mathletics and Numeracy Week, our Lower Primary classrooms were filled not only with the joyful chatter of young learners, but also the warmth, support, and enthusiasm of our parent community. Parents in the classroom turned math into a shared celebration, bridging the gap between home and school while reinforcing the idea that learning is a team effort.
