EDMA201 Numeracy in the Early Years

10 cp

This unit is designed to provide students with an opportunity to specialise in numeracy in the early years of primary mathematics education by discussing and investigating numeracy aspects in all strands of the mathematics curriculum applying to the first three years of schooling. The unit will focus on the stages of growth in mathematical understanding, the structure and content of a range of numeracy programs, effective teaching and assessment approaches at the early years level and the findings of research projects in this area.

A child-centred approach to learning and teaching mathematics will be emphasised with students considering the role of assessment in assisting teachers to understand children's current mathematical thinking and to plan effective learning experiences.
