The learning of maths is broken down into its Strands. This means that in maths earliest stages of learning, young children will learn shape, counting, patterns and sorting etc. through practical means. As children progress through the Key Stages they build on these skills.…
The national curriculum framework for mathematics including age-related expectations of learners, as relevant to my setting, is limited. In my setting the basic aspects of maths such as shape, counting and sorting etc are a challenge for many students. Age-related expectations cannot be applied as the intellectual development does not match age/physical development. Many are only working at P scale levels, but there are a few working to the lower National Curriculum levels. Understanding and an awareness of the skills the students possess in my setting, means practical work such as counting forks or lego bricks, can help the students understand the concept of adding small numbers; they in turn can apply the same techniques to other items and aid problem solving. But they are also encouraged to use ICT interactive programmes to understand that counting for example is not just for 3D objects. The main subject areas for mathematics used in my setting are:…
* P.E. every day for 30 minutes. Monday and Wednesday we have music and movement. Tuesday and Thursday we play games like dodge ball or beach ball volleyball. Fridays we sometimes have Stations with tricycles, jump ropes, hula hoops, relay races, etc... One activity our students really enjoy is an indoor snowball fight. We use mats for fort walls and wadded up paper for the balls.…
Another example that always seems to be a fun challenge with my learners is a word list competition. I have printed handouts with a list of words, meanings and explanations and as I progress through a unit of the course, the students have to try to identify the buzz words on the sheet. The first ones in the class to identify the full list correctly get a simple prize i.e I make coffee for the winner .. Simple but effective and enjoyed…
It is crucial to develop in children the ability to tackle problems with initiative and confidence…mathematics has changed from careful rehearsal of standard procedures to a focus on mathematical thinking and communication to prepare them for the world of tomorrow (Anghileri, 2006, p.2).…
1.3.8: Students will generate and solve two-step addition and subtraction problems and one-step multiplication problems based on practical situations. Model addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in a variety of ways. Use mathematical vocabulary and symbols to describe multiplication and division.…
a. Students will demonstrate the meaning of multiplication and division of whole numbers through the use of a variety of representations.…
Children must be supported in developing their understanding of Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy in a broad range of contexts in which they can explore, enjoy, learn, practise and talk about their developing understanding.…
In using real materials such as blocks and trying out their ideas, children learn about sizes, shapes, and colors, and they notice relationships between things.…
* The binary numbering system plays a central role in how information of all kinds is stored on the computer. Understanding binary can lift a lot of the mysteries from computers because at a fundamental level they're really just machines for flipping binary digits on and off. There are several activities on binary numbers in this document, all simple enough that they can be used to teach the binary system to anyone who can count! Generally children learn the binary system very quickly using this approach, but we find that many adults are also excited when they finally understand what bits…
This activity can help influence teaching strategies and overall student learning because it is a team-based activity, not excluding Phillip, but rather, possesses developmental value for all of the children. Due to the team-based exercise, learning can occur in a child’s natural environment with his or her own classmates. Learning and teaching frequently occurs in everyday experiences and contexts, and should therefore be taken into consideration when formulating activities to encourage developmental progression (p. 252)…
The child will refine his/hers monitor skills by placing dominos on the bridge blocks and ability in comprehension of height difference.…
To be able to perform arithmetic, you must first be familiar with numbers. Therefore, although we give a few helping examples, this article is not about binary numerals.…

Number system is one topic that is ubiquitous in CAT. Number system is one topic which finds universal application and its concepts are used in almost all the topics. Keeping its importance in mind, make sure you study its concept in details and use as much reference material as possible. We have provided a list of books you can use. Refer to these books and online resources to learn more. We have uploaded some Concept Notes for the topic here. Make sure you refer to these and explore the topics given here further. Please keep in mind that these are introductory articles and you would need to work further on these topics. We will be constantly adding more articles on the topic. Please feel free to pass your suggestions.…
