  1. Numeracyin the classroomEDCU11015 Presentationby Kristy Egan, Lisa Elliston, Stefanie Benham and Kathryn Kypr

  2. Welcome Main Goals of Tonight • Provide informative session regarding numeration • Provide you with knowledge to help your child develop numeration skills • Importance of parent participation • Create a strong parent/ teacher partnership

  3. Sequence of session • History of numeration with myself • Addressing ACARA with Kathryn • Sequence for understanding numeracy with Stefanie • Ideas for parents with Kristy • Concludes with Question and Answer time

  4. How do I get the most out of this session?

  5. Curriculum

  6. ‘Learning mathematics creates opportunities for and enriches the lives of all Australians.’

  7. Math Strands Number and Algebra Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability

  8. Foundation Year Achievement Standards • By the end of the Foundation year, students make connections between number names, numerals and quantities up to 10. • They compare objects using mass, length and capacity. • Students connect events and the days of the week. They explain the order and duration of events. They use appropriate language to describe location. • Students count to and from 20 and order small collections. • They group objects based on common characteristics and sort shapes and objects. • Students answer simple questions to collect information

  9. Curriculum in a nut shell! • Language and process of counting • Connect number names, numerals and quantities • Compare, order and make connections between groups • Provide practical activities to show addition and sharing • Sort, classify, copy, continue & create patterns • Units of measurements – objects, events, time, days • Awareness of 2 & 3 dimensional objects • Describe position & movement • Statistics & probability (yes/no questions to collect information)

  10. Brain Teaser • Given 1 = 5 2 = 25 3 = 325 4 = 4325 5 = ? • Can you work out what 5 will be? • Clue – it is a pattern, look to the previous answer

  11. What is Numeration? Numeration is concerned with understanding numbers and their properties. (Booker. et al. 2010)

  12. It’s not all about counting! • Don’t be worried if your child’s counting is out of sequence. • It is common for young children to repeat, omit or skip numbers when counting. • It is more important for children to have an understanding of the meaning of numbers

  13. The sequence to Developing Numeration in the Early Years • Introduce the numbers 1-4 • Introduce the concept of 0 • Continue the numbers 5-9, introducing the structured pattern for numbers • Sequence the numbers 0-9 • Compare numbers:1 more, 1 less • Introduce ordinal numbers eg ninth, eighth • Treat counting on and counting back • Introduce the number 10

  14. Objects Number Number Words Symbols

  15. Useful Tools Number Cards Dice Ten Frames Blocks Bundles

  16. Language & Play Language gives meaning to numbers and is key to all aspects of mathematics learning Using the number words when talking about objects helps children to make the link in their mind Children learn through play and are engaged in higher order thinking processes when playing

  17. PLAY Play is a medium for young children to access higher order thinking Their environment New concepts Linking ideas Building confidence Creating friendships Learning appropriate behaviors Self expression Creativity Imagination Resilience

  18. What is higher-order thinking? Many games allow children to construct meaning and almost always involve higher- order thinking Rote counting from 1-10 fits in around the lower levels

  19. What are the benefits of playing games? Games almost always involve: • Sustained attention • High-level thinking • Collaborative and individual effort Children view games as: • Fun • Engaging • motivating

  20. What kinds of games can we play at home? • Interactive games on the IPad, Laptop etc. • Board games using dice • Counting using concrete materials e.g. ‘can you get me three eggs from the fridge” • Books that promote counting on or counting back • Action songs and finger plays

  21. Some ideas……

  22. Monkey’s math school App • Teaches: • Addition and subtraction • Patterns • Number lines • Writing numbers • Number recognition • More or less • Sequencing • Shapes

  23. Conclusion • Discussion time • Question and Answer time • Teacher information website • Thank you for your contribution and attendance
