maths in practice

Order Description
Strictly follow the below Instruction to cover in Assessment
****It is compulsory to refer chapter 1 to 7 of e-text Numeracy in early childhood by Agnes Macmillan to cover Bishop category
**** For the first resource use Mathelatics to teach counting for foundation/ prep students
**** For second resource use various measurement activities to teach measuring focusing on year 4 students
**** Link with Australian curriculum v8.3
Overview of Assessment:
• Choose two areas of early mathematical thinking you wish to focus on (from Bishop’s – counting, measuring, locating and designing).
• Choose an age range of children you wish to work with,
o early childhood age group (0-5yrs) or
o lower primary age group (5-8yrs).
Select two resources that are creative and engaging, one for each of your chosen areas of mathematical thinking.
Complete the following for both resources including:
• Name and evidence of resource
• Age group
• Bishop category
• A rationale that:
o includes support from the content/information presented in Chapters 1-7 (of eText) that describes and reflects upon your chosen teaching strategy (Week 5 and 6
content) that you would use when using this resource with children resource to extend children’s mathematical understandings (relate this to Module 1 and 2)
o makes links to its relevance to either the Early Years Learning Framework or Australian Curriculum.
Present the resources as authentic and professional resources that could be used as evidence to extend and support children’s mathematical skills, strategies and
understandings.
Submit your teaching resources as a Word document.
