Identify And Explain Some Of The Key Concept Of Numeracy

934 Words4 Pages

Before I can confidently teach numeracy to my learners, I have to make sure that I have prepared myself and I fully understand the numbers and I can explain some of the key concept in numeracy before teaching them how to apply them. Once one understand these concepts, it will be easier for me to explain them to my learners and I will be able to apply a variety of methods of application. Because as the English proverb says. “There are many ways to skin a cat”. This practically means a problem generally has more than one solution. I will also teach them that we shouldn’t be afraid of working with numbers because we do numeracy in different ways everyday: both formally and non-formally. Formally, at work and school and non-formally when we count change from shopping. 1.2. We use numerical skills everyday  We use it to tell time. …show more content…

Firstly, I will put a definition of addition in simple words. For example, I will just tell them that that addition is basically just putting things together, combining two or more things. Then I will explain using numerical concepts such as: “what is the sum of 2+2?” ”What is the total of all your animals together”? And “what is the total of your profit?” All these questions want an answer which is the sum. “Sum” is the answer you get after adding two or more thigs together. I will have to use examples such as “how many cows do you have all in all together including the calves? And also use this one “after a busy day at the supermarket, how much did you make if you have 20 R2 coins, 15 R5 coins, 10 R10 notes, 8 R50 notes, 5 R100 notes and 3 R200 notes’. I can make it easy for them by illustrating using those mentioned amounts drawn on small papers so they can see what they are working with. I will also show them that we use money and addition when we calculate how much we will give our children for pocket money for the whole week or

For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7. Children start working with equal groups as a whole instead of counting it individual objects. Students start understanding that are able to group number is according to get a product. Students can solve duplication by understand the relationship between the two number.

    To complete this assignment, I first went online to search for fifth-grade fraction activities, with a focus on multiplication. After reviewing numerous potential activities I eventually landed on Fraction Flip-It, which is a game that allows students to create their own fractions depending on where they place the cards drawn. This was a large draw because the game could be played any number of times without students solving the same equation over and over. Once I had settled on the activity and how it would be set up, I began building a lesson around it. I wanted to make sure students had the necessary knowledge to succeed, which is why I included the pre-assessment Plicker quiz.

    “One thing is certain: The human brain has serious problems with calculations. Nothing in its evolution prepared it for the task of memorizing dozens of multiplication facts or for carrying out the multistep operations required for two-digit subtraction.” (Sousa, 2015, p. 35). It is amazing the things that our brain can do and how our brain adapt to perform these kind of calculations. As teachers, we need to take into account that our brain is not ready for calculations, but it can recognize patterns.

  • Early Years Framework For Australi Report

    505 Words  | 3 Pages

    Introduction This essay aims to report on how an educator’s mathematical content knowledge and skills could impact on the development of children’s understanding about the pattern. The Early Years Framework for Australia (EYLF) defines numeracy as young children’s capacity, confidence and disposition in mathematics, and the use of mathematics in their daily life (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), 2009, p.38). It is imperative for children to have an understanding of pattern to develop mathematical concepts and early algebraic thinking, combined with reasoning (Knaus, 2013, p.22). The pattern is explained by Macmillan (as cited in Knaus, 2013, p.22) as the search for order that may have a repetition in arrangement of object spaces, numbers and design.
