Question Applied Mathematics

By gathering information into a folio, you are demonstrating an ability to identify, evaluate and transmit ideas about effective engaging and encouraging mathematical experiences for children. This assessment requires you to track your reasons for including specific evidence through adding a reflective dialogue. Your folio should not just be a collection of resources, however, if academic underpinning is not evident you will not pass this assessment. ● You will submit ten items (containing your evidence as detailed in the Theme table) with a 250 word rationale for each item ● Your folio is to be in Evernote ● Each item should be clearly labelled with o the name and description o evidence of the resource such as a URL (if from an external source), filename or screen shot, o a brief description of how that resource enhances children's mathematical knowledge, o your opinion of the resource and an analysis, supported by research. ● Make sure you include all relevant files in your submission if you refer to additional information.This assessment addresses the following learning outcomes for this unit: ● Define and describe the similarities and differences between mathematics and numeracy. ● Recognise numeracy skills used in the real world. ● Recognise and develop opportunities for numeracy and mathematics related experiences in play, and everyday experiences in early childhood settings. ● Describe the nature and development of mathematical thinking and numeracy processes in children. ● Describe how the Australian curriculum for maths encourages understanding in mathematics and numeracy for children. ● Use ICT to develop children's engagement with numeracy and mathematics.
