The World of Maths Assessment: Folio

Assessment context-

The purpose of this folio assessment is to produce a collection of information, resources and reflections. Creating this folio will help you develop your skills in navigating the Victorian Curriculum, recognising the way in which concepts are scaffolded throughout the curriculum and identifying relevant resources to support teaching and learning.

Outcomes-

This task is assessing your ability to demonstrate that you meet the following unit learning outcomes:

1. Describe how the Australian curriculum for maths encourages understanding in mathematics and numeracy for children.

2. Use ICT to develop children's engagement with numeracy and mathematics.

Assessment details-

For this assessment task, you will be building upon your knowledge and understanding of the concept that you explored in your second assessment task and exploring how it continues to be scaffolded throughout the primary years.

You will be required to choose three consecutive primary school year levels to build your folio around (e.g. Foundation, Year One and Year Two). Once you have selected your year levels, you will be required to follow the steps below:

Explore the Victorian Curriculum and describe how your concept is addressed and scaffolded throughout each of your selected year levels. (approx. 250 words).

Choose just one content description (for each of your year levels) to focus on, that directly correlates to your concept. (approx. 40 words).

Find one resource that you believe would effectively support the teaching and learning of each of your content descriptions. Please note: Two of the three resources must be ICT resources. For each resource you must include the following information: the name of the resource, evidence of the resource (e.g. screenshot or URL) and a brief description. (approx. 120 words).

To accompany each resource, you are to provide a written rationale justifying how it can be used to enhance children's learning and engagement with the selected content description. (approx. 250 words).
