Aims

The Australian Curriculum Mathematics aims to ensure that students

are confident creative users and communicators of mathematics able to investigate represent and interpret situations in their personal and work lives and as active citizens

develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes and are able to pose and solve problems and reason in Number and Algebra Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability

recognize connections between the areas of mathematics and other disciplines and appreciate mathematics as an accessible and enjoyable discipline to study

Aims

The Australian Curriculum Mathematics aims to ensure that students

are confident creative users and communicators of mathematics able to investigate represent and interpret situations in their personal and work lives and as active citizens

develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes and are able to pose and solve problems and reason in Number and Algebra Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability

recognize connections between the areas of mathematics and other disciplines and appreciate mathematics as an accessible and enjoyable discipline to study

Aims

The Australian Curriculum Mathematics aims to ensure that students

are confident creative users and communicators of mathematics able to investigate represent and interpret situations in their personal and work lives and as active citizens

develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes and are able to pose and solve problems and reason in Number and Algebra Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability

recognize connections between the areas of mathematics and other disciplines and appreciate mathematics as an accessible and enjoyable discipline to study

Aims

The Australian Curriculum Mathematics aims to ensure that students

are confident creative users and communicators of mathematics able to investigate represent and interpret situations in their personal and work lives and as active citizens

develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes and are able to pose and solve problems and reason in Number and Algebra Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability

recognize connections between the areas of mathematics and other disciplines and appreciate mathematics as an accessible and enjoyable discipline to study

success and have good self esteem are confident to take risks view learning as enjoyable and value literature bull children learn through exposure to a variety of teaching methods and classroom organisation

Instruction

The organisation of programs for effective literacy instruction should

provide daily opportunities to learn practice and apply their Literacy skills

provide opportunities to learn literacy skills at the word level sentence level and whole text level bull involve hands on multi sensory experiences (play based learning) bull encourage children to experiment and problem solve and make decisions bull expose children to a variety of teaching strategies bull expose children to a variety of texts bull be supported by a variety of classroom organisations bull provide challenging integrated experiences in listening speaking reading writing and viewing bull develop the use of language as a tool for learning across the curriculum bull build the knowledge and skills to effectively draw on and use literacy strategies bull develop awareness of and ability to code switch matching language to purpose and audience

Assessment

bull Teachers to observe and collect data on the key outcomes of English bull Diagnostic assessment should drive instruction bull Judgements should be based on the full extent and range of the outcome Ie Not based on one work sample bull Assessment should make a positive contribution to student learning bull A variety of instrumentsmethods should be used bull Children need to be involved in self monitoring and goal setting bull Students should be given equal opportunities to demonstrate their achievement of outcomes

Reporting

bull Should be meaningful to children parents and other education professionals bull Be concerned with effort as well as achievement bull Be aligned to the CAR policy bull Have enough detail that progress can be seen to have been made from one semester to the next

Aims

The Australian Curriculum Mathematics aims to ensure that students

are confident creative users and communicators of mathematics able to investigate represent and interpret situations in their personal and work lives and as active citizens

develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of mathematical concepts and fluency with processes and are able to pose and solve problems and reason in Number and Algebra Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability

recognize connections between the areas of mathematics and other disciplines and appreciate mathematics as an accessible and enjoyable discipline to study
