Building on preservice teachers' growing understandings of how children from diverse
backgrounds learn mathematics, this subject will explore mathematical and pedagogical
issues at an advanced level in teaching and learning mathematics across the early
years' curriculum frameworks (birth - age 8) (specifically these are: the Early Years
Learning Framework (EYLF), the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG) and
ACARA: Mathematics). It also includes the examination of current national and state
curriculum frameworks and policies in mathematics education. The subject aims to equip
preservice teachers as reflective practitioners, able to plan, implement and evaluate
mathematical pedagogies and each child's learning. The subject will consider assessment,
literacy and numeracy in Early Childhood Education and Care and school settings in
depth and equip pre-service teachers with the tools necessary to interpret and plan
effective mathematics sequences grounded on the systematic interpretation of student
data in the early years.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate capacity to organise activities, provide clear directions and demonstrate
a range of verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to support student engagement
in numeracy and mathematics;
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, content and teaching strategies
of mathematics including literacy and numeracy teaching strategies and their application
as stipulated in early years' curriculum frameworks (birth - age 8);
- use curriculum, assessment and reporting knowledge to design mathematics learning
sequences including assessment and justify their teaching and learning decisions with
reference to ACECQA, QKLG, the Australian Curriculum, theoretical models of learning
and findings from current educational research;
- demonstrate understanding of mathematics assessment including appropriate strategies,
interpretation of student assessment data to evaluate learning and the provision of
timely and appropriate feedback to children in Early Childhood Education;
- choose teaching and learning resources, including ICT, that complement differentiated
learning of mathematics in Early Childhood Education and engage a diverse range of
children in learning.
