About this Unit
From 2020 students should note that core units are now taught in semesters rather than half yearly sessions. This unit aims to develop students’ critical understandings of how numeracy and powerful mathematical ideas shape young children’s lives during their first eight years. Students will develop their ability to provide rich learning experiences that enhance and assess the growth of children’s numeracy and foundational mathematical concepts. The unit will foster positive dispositions towards teaching and applying mathematics and numeracy in diverse settings for children aged birth to eight years, using the current Early Years Learning Framework and the NSW Mathematics K-10 Syllabus curriculum document.
