Number recognition and operations start in Foundation Year. By Year 3, students handle larger numbers and basic operations. Year 5 introduces multi-digit multiplication and division. From Year 7, students learn about integers, prime numbers, and rational numbers.
Tutero’s numbers curriculum builds a solid numerical foundation, critical for academic success in mathematics and sciences.
Students explore the practical use of numbers in everyday contexts such as commerce and accounting. They gain insights into how numbers are used to quantify and measure various aspects of life, from financial transactions to measurements in construction and engineering. This knowledge enhances numeracy skills essential for daily life.
Designed for students at varying levels of proficiency, the numbers lesson plan features enabling prompts to support basic number recognition and operations, alongside extending prompts for exploring complex numerical relationships and theories. These prompts ensure that all students can engage with numerical concepts at a level that is appropriate and challenging, enhancing both skills and confidence.

Types of Numbers
Students start with understanding basic types of numbers such as even, odd, and whole numbers. They gradually learn about other categories such as composite, prime numbers, and negative numbers. By Year 5, students have a solid understanding of various types of numbers including rational and irrational numbers, applying this knowledge to different mathematical contexts.
Operations with Numbers
Initially, students learn basic operations—addition and subtraction—using physical objects and visual aids. They progress to multiplication and division, using arrays and repeated addition. By Year 5, they perform operations with larger numbers and decimals, incorporating advanced problem-solving strategies and understanding the applications of these operations in real-life situations.
Number Sequences
Early years focus on recognising simple sequences like counting by ones and twos. Students learn to identify patterns in these sequences, progressing to more complex sequences involving larger skips or varying patterns by Year 3. By Year 5, students explore arithmetic and geometric sequences, using them to solve problems and understand mathematical relationships.
