| Unit Description |
This unit focuses on young children's problem solving from their exploration of their everyday world. Students will involve children in meaningful problem solving and mathematical activities, for example, data processing, measurement, pattern recognition, space, geometry, number and technology. Students will develop an appreciation of children's transitions into mathematical understandings in their everyday life and across the curriculum by recognising and appropriately addressing the range of mathematical thinking in young children. Combining research and theoretical perspectives with experience will assist and consolidate student understanding. Students will implement appropriate learning strategies with reference to relevant State authorities' policy and curriculum documents. |
