Year 3 Economic Lessons

2344 Words10 Pages

My lessons concentrate on numeracy in mathematics, especially numbers and mathematics in simple finance, for instance, allowance management, creating a shopping list with a restriction of the allowance and calculating the benefits to buy a discount sale item. The three lessons focus on the skill to understand and work with numbers in finance. This will lead students numerate and become a smart consumer.

Most of students in grade 6 receive allowances which they use for various reasons: hanging out with friends, snacks and anything they want and need. They are becoming or will become an independent consumer in a few years, who does not rely on their parents for their allowance management. Thus, they should learn the skills on how to manage their …show more content…

Since I did an example with similar amount of money, the instructions what the students are supposed to do are clearly delivered. I will be walking around to help students who need an assistance or a clarification on the instructions. The limitation of money will assist students to realize that money is not an endless resource, so that they have to use the money thoughtfully. Moreover, they will perform the addition and subtraction of decimal numbers (cents in dollars) in order to calculate a total price of their shopping lists and the changes. This satisfies one objective in the AusVELS Year 6 mathematic curriculum (ACMNA128). Furthermore, the students will become numerate when they consider the summation on prices of items and possibly eliminate several items from the shopping list due to the money restriction.

In the last 15 minutes, students will discuss in groups about what the procedures are done. On an A4 paper, each group is going to write a list of step-by-step instructions with a detailed explanation about creating a shopping list. The list should also include the mathematical methods about how they calculate addition and subtraction of decimal numbers with an example for a demonstration. The A4 papers will be sticked to a wall in the …show more content…

I chose this website as one of resources since it allows me to consider their prior knowledge on mathematics and to ascertain what Year 6 students are supposed to learn. By adopting goals from the list, I was able to attempt to avoid teaching what they already learned and to meet the national curriculum. Moreover, I was able to adopt two objectives from the curriculum to my lesson plans which are ACMNA128 and ACMNA132. Since the ACMNA132 is the objective about finance which is an application of mathematics in real life, it seems to be the most relatable objective to the numeracy

    Guided Practice PERFORMANCE TASK(S): The students are expected to learn the Commutative and Associative properties of addition and subtraction during this unit. This unit would be the beginning of the students being able to use both properties up to the number fact of 20. The teacher would model the expectations and the way the work is to be completed through various examples on the interactive whiteboard. Students would be introduced to the properties, be provided of their definitions, and then be walked through a step by step process of how equations are done using the properties.

    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.

    The incorporation of hands on learning opportunities relevant to students’ everyday lives provides a personalised learning experience. I believe it is extremely important that student learning incorporates equality and family values and beliefs, which allows students to incorporate their prior learning experiences to feel accepted and valued within the classroom. This encourages students to grow from their previous life experiences whilst incorporating new knowledge. This is incorporated within the unit design of measurement as students can use their measurement knowledge and skills at home to cook a traditional family meal or build something out doors with the family, to enhance their learning, and share this will fellow students to enhance their learning when in the classroom. My personal pedagogical philosophy within the unit provides students with the feeling of equality where differentiation occurs in every lesson when needed, to cater for the diverse learning needs of all students, therefore, eliminating mathematical anxiety for all

    Basic Considerations Our grade of focus for our chosen resource is grade 3. The subject area is mathematics with a focus on the unit of counting money. Our resource is a Counting Money Busy Bag manipulative alongside page 158 of the Nelson textbook. The purpose of introducing the resource with the textbook page is to scaffold learning through the use of visuals versus just having text, as the ELL students we have chosen benefit from the use of manipulatives as a preference to learning. In addition, the use of visuals serves as exemplifiers of the Canadian money the text is discussing, as if a student is new to Canada, there are differences in the money values and appearances.

Although there was a lot of review in this chapter, it also offered a lot of learning. This chapter was not very long and had a lot of vocabulary this is actually important to know for any business or accounting major. Some of the terms that are really important to know are a net income or a net loss Net income is when revenues exceed expenses, but a net loss is when expenses exceed revenues. Other important vocab and documents to know are the four financial statements.
