Indepth Number skills development for primary students

Symphony Math teaches School Years 1 to 6 Number Sense

skills—which form the basis of our math curriculum. It is also

suitable for older students who need to remediate those skills.

Symphony Math® is a highly intuitive program that teaches

number sense skills at a conceptual level - helping students to

understand the deeper mathematical meaning and not merely

repeat answers by rote. The program automatically adjusts

activities offered based on students answers, progressing

students who demonstrate they already know a skill more

quickly, and providing extra practice to those who need it.

Each Skill is practiced using multiple “Ways of Knowing” which help

students visualise, r and apply ideas quickly and

accurately. Students use onscreen manipulatives such as:

Counting Bars, Dot Cards, Number Lines, Number Problems,

Word Problems, Fraction Bars and Auditory Problem solving.

THE BIG IDEAS

When students use Symphony Math,

they aren’t just practicing their facts,

they are mastering BIG IDEAS.

Conceptual Understanding

Students use different visual tools, like Dot Cards,

Number Lines, and Counting Bars. When they master

these tools, students connect them to traditional number

sentences, then use them to solve real-world problems.

Fluency

As well as a solid conceptual understanding of math

students need quick recall of common facts, promoted

through timed Mastery Rounds of basic addition,

subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Adaptive Branching

The program constantly adjusts the material provided

based on students performance. Struggling students are

automatically given extensive tasks that challenge them

to truly master the material, while those who have

mastered a concept move on more quickly.

Pen and Paper Practice

Worksheets are available for those who want extra or

extension skills practice.
