Session Description

Lysterfield Primary School (LPS) has implemented a whole-school number fluency program called LPS Maths Masters. Through this session, you will gain an understanding of what is meant by the term ‘fluency’ and why it is important to develop fluency to improve student outcomes. Additionally, you will learn about LPS Maths Masters - a developmental and sequenced set of skills learnt through a robust, structured and student-driven program. Finally, the session will cover the change management and professional learning involved in launching a new whole school program with staff, students and the community, and the strategies employed to maintain
and embed the program to continue its success.

Key takeaways:
1. Fluency reduces cognitive load allowing attention to more complex problems.
2. Fluency needs to be developed in a structured and sequential way, with a focus on mastery.
3. A well-crafted program can create engagement within a school community, lifting the profile of mathematics while improving student learning.
