Targeted Early Numeracy (TEN) Intervention Program

The Targeted Early Numeracy (TEN) intervention program fulfils a Government commitment to provide support for students experiencing substantial difficulty in learning numeracy in the early years. TEN would be implemented within a normal daily lesson block, without withdrawal or an additional specialist teacher. It recognises that a small percentage of students are at risk of numeracy failure, despite participation within a quality early numeracy program.

During Semester 2 2009, TEN will be piloted to allow school teams and facilitators time to participate in initial training and trialling of new resources and strategies. TEN facilitators will trial strategies within their own school during Term 3, and within two or three more schools during Term 4.
