Explanation of the evidence: 1. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
This child is developing a sense of numeracy and beginning to explore mathematical principles and concepts (MacMillan, 2009). The mathematical activity is playing, intrinsic motivation is curiosity and interpersonal motivation is respect (MacMillan, 2009). Children use mark makings to explore symbols in a non-standard way and they read the symbol as if it were correct (Curruthers and Worthington, 2003). This method is play-based learning where children use marks to symbolically represent numbers (Department for Children, Schools and Families, 2008). 2. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
The benefits of this resource is that can improve childrens ability to undertake calculations. This resource can also provide support and understanding when children start to problem solve, reason and undertake numeracy. By using childrens mathematical graphics, they also become more confident as writers and mathematical thinkers (Department for Children, Schools and Families, 2008). Outcome 4: Children are Confident and Involved Learners. These learning outcomes cover curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity. Other areas include problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching and investigating. All these outcomes can assist children organising, recording and communicating mathematical ideas, concepts using mathematical language and symbols (DEEWR, 2009, pp 34-35)
2 Fiona Pidgeon 657999X EDU20002 Mathematics in Practice Assessment 3: Folio Reflection linked to knowledge, practice and engagement: Early learning practitioners should be modelling mathematical language and use open questions and discussions to encourage childrens mathematical graphics. They need to monitor and evaluate the resources available to the children so that they are encouraged to use problem solving, reasoning and numeracy skills. Role play and the use of mathematical signage can assist the children with developing their mathematical graphics and fosters a culture of mathematical numeracy and learning. Children should not be discouraged when mark making as this supports their mathematical thinking and processes (The Williams Maths Review, DCSF, 2008a as cited in Childrens Mathematics Network, 2012).

Theme / title of item: Extending written mathematics - Outside Play Cafe Evidence: The resource is a caf in an outside play house where children can practice their mathematical graphics by writing down menu orders. The idea for this resource is sourced from Carruthers, E., & Worthington, M. (2011), Understanding Childrens Mathematical Graphics : Beginnings in Play retrieved from http://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.lib.swin.edu.au/ehost/ebookviewer/ebook/bmxlYmtfXzM3NTExNF9fQU41?sid=7b 29d518-1eab-4c72-a455-49e887099211@sessionmgr4005&vid=0&format=EB&rid=1
Explanation of the evidence: 3. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
This resource assists children with the development of their written mathematics through exploration with marks which correlates to mathematical meanings (Carruthers and Worthington, 2011). The mathematical activity is playing, the intrinsic motivation is curiosity and the interpersonal motivation is respect (MacMillan, 2009). MacMillan (2009) suggests that children, when offered opportunities of formalised play, extend their mathematical knowledge by unconsciously applying the concepts of mathematics. In this activity, children use their current knowledge of ordering at a caf by taking and writing down the order.
4. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource? Extending their mathematical abilities through this resource will assist children in developing problem solving, reasoning and numeracy skills as well as their confidence in themselves as writers and mathematical thinkers (Worthington and Carruthers, 2012). Play based learning provides a means for exploring and communicating ideas, feelings and thoughts (Worthington and Carruthers, 2012). If children are free to choose how they make their graphical markings, they are then able to translate between the informal marks and the standard symbols used later in their education (Worthington and Carruthers, 2012).

Other areas include problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching and investigating. All these outcomes can assist children organising, recording and communicating mathematical ideas, concepts using mathematical language and symbols (DEEWR, 2009, pp 34-35) Reflection linked to knowledge, practice and engagement: Responsive teaching practices will assist the child in developing further mathematical skills when using this resource (MacMillan, 2009). This resource is a concrete resource that can provide verbal interactions and demonstrations so that children can make sense of the mathematical concepts (MacMillan, 2009). When interacting with the children, the teacher can model curiosity and use critical reflection techniques for example how many drinks did I order?
5 Fiona Pidgeon 657999X EDU20002 Mathematics in Practice Assessment 3: Folio Theme / title of item: Making Connections Two of everything Evidence: This resource assists children in developing counting skills through stories.

Activity Four: Count Along. Retrieved from http://www.asiaeducation.edu.au/curriculum_resources/maths/foundation_year_numbers_and_counting/activity_4_cou nt_along.html
Explanation of the evidence: 5. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
Children develop their language and mathematical skills associated with comparing and ordering collections, sorting, identifying and classifying of objects. They will extend their language development by describing and explaining as they place items in and out of the magic pot (Asia Education Foundation, n.d.). The mathematical activity is counting, the intrinsic motivation is choice and the interpersonal motivation is respect (MacMillan, 2009). 6. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
There are strong links with constructivist views of learning as the children work collaboratively and are learning as individuals as they complete the task (Hayes, 2010 as cited in Kelly, n.d.). The children are engaged in the story and complete a mathematical challenge and this is more engaging for children as they are not seen to be undertaking just one topic (Kelly, n.d.). One of the limitations include that dominant children may play a more active role in the activity and lose their identity (Kelly, n.d.). ACARA links Foundation Year: Number and Algebra.

Reflection linked to knowledge, practice and engagement: A variety of materials are used for the children to use for counting, sorting, ordering and comparing such as beads, blocks, marbles, paper clips and pegs (Asia Education Foundation, n.d.). It is an enabling environment which can be adult and child led and can incorporate a range of learning styles. ACARA (n.d.) state that students need to recognise that mathematics can be applied to other areas and apply the skills in a range of familiar and unfamiliar situations.

Pancakes can make a difference covers three strands: Mathematics, Science and English and is about making pancakes as a fundraiser for a chosen charity. Students read a book about fundraising and then create their own project and understand how fundraising can make a difference in society. . Education Services Australia. (2014). Scootle. Mathematics / Year 1 / Number and Algebra / Money and financial mathematics. Retrieved from http://www.scootle.edu.au/ec/search?accContentId=ACMNA017 Explanation of the evidence: 7. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
This resource provides understandings, skills and values and connects to the real world (ASIC, n.d.). It covers a fundraising event and students create advertising, count and sort money and determine the costing of products. It links to the Australian Curriculum and students develop the following capabilities and skills: Numeracy, literacy, creative and critical thinking, and personal and social capability (ASIC, n.d.). There are also sequenced teaching and learning activities, assessment tasks (formative and summative) and resources.
8. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
This resource is already linked with the curriculum and provides all the worksheets, tools and resources for the educator. The tools can be modified to suit the students, ensuring that all learners needs are catered for and is learner centred, making it an ideal 21 st century resource. The limitations could be that if you do not have an onsite oven or you dont have permission to undertake fundraising from the school authority.

8 Fiona Pidgeon 657999X EDU20002 Mathematics in Practice Assessment 3: Folio Reflection linked to knowledge, practice and engagement: Everyday mathematics has been identified and is used to deliver this program, enabling students to use concrete tools and ideas that will broaden their mathematical understanding. Children use math talk and time is allowed for individuals and groups to foster communication about their learnings. The teacher can also scaffold opportunities to deepen the childrens understanding and confidence of mathematics (Ontario, n.d.).
9 Fiona Pidgeon 657999X EDU20002 Mathematics in Practice Assessment 3: Folio Theme / title of item: Approaches to planning EYLF Term 3 Plan, Earth and Beyond. Evidence: The plan is very science based but one plan is that of weaving the concepts of distance and time into the numeracy learning through exploring the questions How long does it take to get to space? And How far away is space? Talking about time in terms of day, week, year etc. (Gowrie SA, n.d. p.16).

Explanation of the evidence: 9. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
Children match and describe characteristics, attributes of patterns, objects and collection during an excursion. Children describe early mathematical ideas using the objects, pictures and drawings made that relate to the exercise and can include created symbols and number. They use videos to explore quantities, position, movement, direction, order, sequence and pattern.
10. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
It is very cross-curricula and explores the content using constructivist theories. Knowledge is being actively constructed through building rockets, counting, exploring and is supported by an age appropriate, integrated curriculum using a project approach (MacMillan, 2009). There is social interaction between the teachers, children and the parents (MacMillan, 2009). The limitations are that it is very broad and incorporating mathematics into the daily activities could be lost. Its essential that proper planning is undertaken to ensure that all mathematical knowledge and skills are taught.

All these outcomes can assist children organising, recording and communicating mathematical ideas, concepts using mathematical language and symbols (DEEWR, 2009, pp 34-35) Reflection linked to knowledge, practice and engagement: When delivering this program, I will need to be very familiar with its content as well as organized as there is quite a bit that needs to be covered during the term. It will also be essential to consult with other practitioners in the early learning centre to ensure each of the activities will be documented and include this in any planning documentation.

Australian Curriculum Lessons [image]. Explanation of the evidence: 11. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
It is content driven and meets the prescribed standards and learning outcomes of the Australian Curriculum (Pugh & Duffy, 2013). Using MacLeod-Brudenells (2004, p. 251) planning considerations, childrens existing skills have not been assessed; opportunities for collaboration; theres no plan for extending learning; plan for the role of the practitioner is included and various learning and teaching strategies used. The following MacMillans (2009) mathematical skills have been applied: Problem-solving; Reasoning; Communication; Disposition; Making Connections and Evaluating. 12. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
The benefits of this plan is that the lesson is ready to go, with all resources created, roles easily defined and assessment tools created. The planner has also thought about scaffolding the learning by adding various questions that can be used throughout the lessons. The limitations of this lesson is that there are no time allocations for the exercises and this will need to be defined in order to allocate planning for the days and weeks ahead.

13 Fiona Pidgeon 657999X EDU20002 Mathematics in Practice Assessment 3: Folio Theme / title of item: Designing meaningful, purposeful activities Music Mats
Evidence: This resource is designed for children in an early years environment (preferably Birth Five) and incorporates music as a tool for counting and incorporating information and communication technology. The resource is sourced from E2BN (2008) and is an activity plan. E2BN. (2008). ICT in early years- Activity Plans. Retrieved from http://ictearlyyears.e2bn.org/resources_102.html
Explanation of the evidence: 13. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
The concrete material (music mat) is the feature of the learning exercise and children are monitored and evaluated through observation and interaction. These are good examples of constructivist theory in the planning of this exercise (MacMillan, 2009). It is imaginative and purposeful, engaging multiple intelligences by using meaningful tasks that engage the individuals strengths and interests (MacMillan, 2009). They will be learning 1-1 correspondence and count up to five and Bishops categories used are counting, locating and playing (MacMillan, 2009).
14. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
Childrens involvement is recognised and valued in a flexible and open-ended environment. Teachers have the opportunity to provide children encouragement as well as working collaboratively (holding hands whilst gaining confidence on the mat) or individually (doing the exercise themselves). Children can use their imagination and try new challenges when using the mat (DEEWR, 2009). The limitations is that not all children can walk across the mat (as they may be too young).

Other areas include problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching and investigating. All these outcomes can assist children organising, recording and communicating mathematical ideas, concepts using mathematical language and symbols (DEEWR, 2009, pp 34-35) Reflection linked to knowledge, practice and engagement: Responsive teaching can be used to encourage the children to help them develop further mathematical skills and expand, extend and clarify what they currently already know (MacMillan, 2009). To extend, start with a simple counting game before using the mat and then move to the mat (or vice versa). Its important to ensure that the children are owning the game, rather than the teacher leading the game as this supports the children interpersonally (MacMillan, 2009).
15 Fiona Pidgeon 657999X EDU20002 Mathematics in Practice Assessment 3: Folio Theme / title of item: Designing meaningful, purposeful activities Counting Beetles making word problems Evidence:
Aimed at years one and two, this is an information and communication technology tool to assist children to create their own addition and subtraction word problems, using a number line to model addition and subtraction facts and construct and solve addition and subtraction number sentences. Education Services Australia (ESA). (2014). Counting Beetles, Making Word Problems. Retrieved from http://bit.ly/1onYIJ6
Explanation of the evidence: 15. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
Children explore strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems through the use of an information and communications technology tool online. Problems are explored through number line modelling and connect word problems and equations. It is prescriptive and does not allow for any flexibility (MacMillan, 2009). Technology increases childrens confidence and develops positive attitudes towards mathematics. Children can collaborate, work alone or the teacher can use smartboard technology with a group of children (J. Siraj-Blatchford, 2008, pp. 337-338).
16. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
Children can work alone confidently on the sums and the tasks are quite repetitive allowing the child to try again if they have not solved the problem correctly. The children learn such skills as critical and creative thinking, mathematical expressions and skip counting (ACARA, n.d.). This resource only allows the children to solve the problem in one way meaning that the children solve it the way it is presented rather than starting with the higher number and then adding the lower number.

Evidence:
This resource is based on the United Kingdom curriculum but can be adapted to meet the Australian Curriculum. Both the teacher and the student undertake an assessment against the content descriptions. TesConnect. (2014). Maths APP Child Friendly Assessment Grids. Retrieved from http://www.tes.co.uk/ResourceDetail.aspx?storyCode=6080768&
Explanation of the evidence: 17. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
Children who assess their own goals are perceived as competent and confident learners and communicators (Te Whriki, page 9 as cited on Ministry of Education New Zealand, 2014). They are expressing opinions and views of their own, therefore promoting independence as well as an orientation towards setting further goals of their own (Te Whriki, page 9 as cited on Ministry of Education New Zealand, 2014). This is a summative assessment tool that is based on a checklist and is evidenced by a variety of sources. Also good for comparative data across a set group of students (MacMillan, 2009).
18. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
Assessment is not just based on one activity undertaken by the child but over a period of time, giving a holistic view of the childs abilities (ACARA, n.d.). Children are also privy to setting their own goals of what they want to achieve for the upcoming period. Children may not accurately record their opinions or alternatively, may be frightened to provide an accurate report of their own learning.
18 Fiona Pidgeon 657999X EDU20002 Mathematics in Practice Assessment 3: Folio Reflection linked to knowledge, practice and engagement: This resource will be helpful in gaining an idea into what the childrens perception is of their own learning and assumptions. Children will be applying their own self-assessment and recognition of achievement which provides a collaborative environment to work within. This encourages children and teachers to work together rather than against each other.

Explanation of the evidence: 19. How is this resource used in childrens early maths development?
Resource is valid and based on Australian Curriculum and includes criteria against which students will be assessed. Students can be assessed in a range of contexts and is free from bias and provides accurate evidence of the students knowledge, understanding and skills. Students and teachers are able to provide feedback during the assessment period and reflect on the learning process. This assessment is also inclusive of and accessible to all students and can be monitored over a period of time (Board of Studies New South Wales, n.d.).
20. What are the benefits and limitations of the resource?
The resource can be undertaken at any significant point in time and assists with providing an overall assessment or grade of the student. Feedback between the teacher and student provides the opportunity to plan future learning goals and pathways for students. It also forms part of a transparent process to all audiences (Board of Studies New South Wales, n.d.). Assessment of learning when used for the purpose of grading or ranking is dependent on validity and reliability of the activities provided (Board of Studies New South Wales, n.d.).
20 Fiona Pidgeon 657999X EDU20002 Mathematics in Practice Assessment 3: Folio Reflection linked to knowledge, practice and engagement: The resource is well balanced as it caters for outcomes, evidence, teaching and learning, context and the learning needs of the students. This assessment tool could assist the teacher to plan for future student learning needs and look at extending their knowledge, understanding and skills.
