Students from Keilor Primary school opened their classroom doors for their families to join in on a Maths Open Afternoon.
Keilor Primary School numeracy leading teacher, Josie Pacifico said the open afternoon is an opportunity to help strengthen the relationships between home and school, as well as families and teachers.
“It allows parents to see what is being taught in class and gives them the opportunity to see how their children use various strategies to help with the learning of various mathematical concepts,” she said.
Ms Pacifico said it was ‘fabulous’ to see both adults and children engaging in mathematics, and allowed for families to observe their children learning mathematics through classroom experiences.
“Classroom visits also help parents understand classroom instruction and expectations, also building their knowledge of the curriculum. It allows for the strengthening of social and emotional wellbeing of children when students see their parents, carers and grandparents taking an interest in their learning,” she said.
