Show More
The focus of this assessment is to show my achievements in developing numeracy. Numeracy comprises mathematical knowledge, competence, and tendency towards maths. There are six areas of Mathematics in Australian Curriculum from Foundation to Year 10, which involves Number, Algebra, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics, and Probability. Each of the components is to be evaluated and assessed based on the weekly task in ‘What I know about’, ‘Time to think’, and Mathspace Final test (TNE Mathematics Test Final, 2017).

    Woodcock Johnson IV Reflection Essay

    While I was interpreting the test data I thought about my observations of the student during testing. The observation of the length of time he spent on problems and his often use of his fingers to calculate basic math, initiated my research. I began finding a plethora of research about the importance of math fluency for student success. Math fluency is a student’s ability to quickly recall math facts. A student who has developed automaticity with basic math facts is able to use their entire working memory on the higher level math instead of squandering some of their limited working memory to figure out all of the math facts necessary to solve the problem.…

    Number Recognition Case Study

    For session 2, we did a basic facts assessment over number recognition with our client (flash cards). We decided to do the basic facts assessment over number recognition because that is the prerequisite for addition/subtraction and that is what our client currently learning about. Our client did really well with the basic facts, so for the next session we decided to move onto addition and subtraction. Session 3 is where we finally discovered some gaps that our client has. She had some trouble with subtraction: single/double digit and word problems.…

    EYMCT: A Conceptual Analysis

    The questions around the Australian Curriculum Strand Numbers and Algebra in the EYMCT demonstrated that I have both strengths and weaknesses. My strengths lie in the fact I was able to confidently tackle the questions related to the sub stand numbers and place value, pattern and algebra in the strand Number and Algebra. I understood the mathematical terminology of factors and pattern as required in the questions, “What are the common factors…?” which are numbers that equally divide into the given numbers and the pattern question, “How can pattern be mathematically described?” , I understood what skip counting by two, add two and the meaning of even numbers.…

    Critical Numeracy Analysis

    Critical numeracy is the ability to think discernibly about the way mathematical concepts are being used in everyday contexts, such as the media (reference).The ability is particularly relevant in the light of media claims about sensitive social issues and in the light of advertisements that make claims for products on the market. As teachers, we want to cultivate critical minds that analyse and understand how the media can manipulate their view on almost every topic, since we cannot make sense of the world without guidance. To aid in meeting the standards of critical numeracy for education, Professor Jane Watson engineered a tiered framework for analysing. The first article I am going to describe is Melbourne tenants hit with record rent…

    An Analysis Of Daniel Tammet's Thinking In Numbers

    Thinking in Numbers: On Life, Love, Meaning and Math is a book written by Daniel Tammet. Throughout the book Tammet allows us to share his unique insights and delight in the way of numbers, fractions, and equations underpin all our lives. In a way, he portrays the message that nobody is born to hate math, but that it’s about our experience with integers, fractions, and numbers that enhances the ability of one another to dislike math. Thinking in Numbers, a series of essays that discuss this relationship stated above, using different life examples such as Algebra, The Islamic Calendar and the endless possibility for Pi. Inspired variously by the complexity of snowflakes, and his wonderful eight siblings, Tammet uses some of these topics to explore questions such as why time seems to speed up as we age, whether there is such a thing as an average person and how we can make sense of those we love.…

    Personal Narrative: Algebraic Expression

    Question 9 (National Assessment Program, 2016) was meet with eagerness and great confidence in my abilities. Although previously I have considered algebra as an overall topic, a weakness it was written as a step by step word problem. Being very straightforward to read and interpret, I was able to recognise meanings of all operations in both worded form and the alternative equivalent expressions. This allowed me to select the correct expression required and also demonstrated the ability to be an effective problem solver, keeping the expression clear and simple to avoid confusion (Morrison, 2006).…

    Jean Piaget Theory Of Literacy And Numeracy

    Maths and many of its aspect are a major part of everyday life. Literacy and numeracy are essential skills for all children to develop. Every child has different learning ability and therefore it will be a good idea to determine each child’s maths literacy level for them to succeed. The two theories of learning discussed are Behaviorism and Constructivism. According to the theory constructivism is best suited to the learning and teaching of maths over behaviorism.…

    Language Conventions In Australia

    In Australia the government requires the testing of students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 annually. They are tested on several aspects of English and Mathematics each year in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses in reading, writing, language conventions - such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation - and numeracy. “NAPLAN” stands for National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy. All students take the same test for their individual year level, and each stage/year gets progressively more difficult as they go through their education. This data is used to assess how well they are doing compared to expected levels, and to calculate the national and state averages in each of the aspects.…

    Numeracy Principles

    Part A: Discussion of key principles that underpin children’s learning of Mathematics The national early childhood curriculum Belonging, Being & Becoming: the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) describes numeracy as “the capacity, confidence and disposition to use mathematics in daily life” (DEEWR 2009, p. 38). The EYLF (DEEWR 2009, p. 43), describes numeracy as including understandings about spatial awareness, data, patterns, numbers and measurement, along with mathematical thinking, reasoning and counting. Throughout this paper, the focus will be on mathematical understandings, looking at this in relation to the key principles of children’s learning, effective teaching and the role of children’s existing and prior knowledge about mathematics.…
