To learn those mathematics concepts, teachers need to scaffold their children to help them explore and gain a better understanding of it. For this essay, it would likely focus on measurement concepts in early childhood education and how it would relate to the theories to help children’s learning. And after that would have activity planning to show and discuss how to implement the concept through play and learning and …show more content…

As most of the children in the class were curious in the length of the different classroom materials, so teacher developed an activity which was fit to children’s interest. So, for the objectives of this activity, teacher would like to see children able to describe the attributes which is the length from different objects by using different materials and they are able to compare the quantities after measuring the length of the objectives using the descriptive words like shorter or longer. For this activity, teacher no need to prepare so many materials and just using the classroom environment like children’ chair and table, pencils, blocks and the limbs of the body. And for the activity procedures, firstly is to use children’s hands as units of measurement to measure the length of a chair and table. Show children how to put their hands-on a straight line measure the chair and table. Then children can start to put their hands one by one to measure how many hands long of a chair or table. And the teacher can ask the question ‘Chair or table has more hands long on it? Which one do you think is longer or shorter?’ After that, Use pencil as units of measurement to measure the length of the book and floor. Show children how to put the pencil on a straight line measure the books and floor. Then, children can start to put pencils one by one to measure how many pencils long of the books and floor. And the teacher can ask the question ‘Book or floor has more pencils long on it? Which one do you think is longer or shorter?’ And then, Use blocks as units of measurement to measure the length of the book and floor. Show children how to place the blocks on a straight line measure the books and floor. And again, children can start to put blocks one by one in a straight line to measure how many blocks long

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.

    All five of the activities were chosen in order to encourage children’s numeracy skills. The activities were based around the development of the four fundamental skills of numeracy learning. These are the ability to name and draw basic shapes and colours, able to count up to ten, begin to understand time and start to recognise patterns and routines. Monday’s activity, the Shape Art Mural, was chosen to allow four year olds to further their development for the milestone of naming and drawing basic shapes and colours. By incorporating both shapes and colours it allows for the activity to be more interesting for the kids.

    Early Childhood Education: Theoretical Perspectives Abstract Studies confirm that high-quality education early in a child’s life leads to continued success in school, at work, and results in a healthier well-rounded student who is emotionally and socially strong. In most early childhood programs and schools, technology will be part of the learning background of the future. To make sure this new technology is used effectively, we must confirm that teachers are fully trained and supported. In this paper, theoretical perspectives of child development are discussed with the basic elements of learning program.

    Part B Introduction The importance of Geometry Children need a wealth of practical and creative experiences in solving mathematical problems. Mathematics education is aimed at children being able to make connections between mathematics and daily activities; it is about acquiring basic skills, whilst forming an understanding of mathematical language and applying that language to practical situations. Mathematics also enables students to search for simple connections, patterns, structures and rules whilst describing and investigating strategies. Geometry is important as Booker, Bond, Sparrow and Swan (2010, p. 394) foresee as it allows children the prospect to engage in geometry through enquiring and investigation whilst enhancing mathematical thinking, this thinking encourages students to form connections with other key areas associated with mathematics and builds upon students abilities helping students reflect

    Then I have them compare those numbers and turn them loose in a discussion forum format to think about, if your goal is this what do you do and if you goal is that what do you do and how you adjust. IN: That makes sense. To what extent to you ask them to think about, if they get a numerical answer for that, is that a reasonable answer. One of the things we struggle with as math teachers is that students will trust whatever comes out of a calculator or a computer. Do you talk with them at all about here is how to know if this is reasonable or you made an error.
