Description

This module explores how educators can support children’s maths and numeracy learning by weaving mathematical concepts and ideas into day-to-day practice, play and outdoor programs. It also looks at intentional teaching and child-led learning and highlights why it’s important for educators to model how to think and talk mathematically.

 

In this course, you will:

  • learn how to include maths and numeracy concepts in your daily practice with children
  • understand how to plan for mathematical learning
  • reflect on the role of children in planning the educational program
  • unpack how play-based learning and intentional teaching practices can support children’s mathematical understanding
  • hear case studies from early childhood and school settings and find out how some educators incorporate maths in their learning environments.
