Growing Children as Learners
Children’s learning and achievement in mathematics rely on executive functioning skills
- Holding multiple ideas in working memory,
- Mental tracking,
- Visualising objects, and
- Mental processing.
Active learning through structured and less-structured experiences where students are responsible for producing knowledge is critical to developing these skills.
Our instructional resources provide intentional opportunities for students to strengthen these skills instead of working around them.
Executive function development has a documented impact on student success.
Children in primary school are growing as learners.
By developing and strengthening their executive functioning skills, students can become organised, focused, adaptable, and self-supported learners in maths.
Take a look at these key skills and their definitions in the useful guide
