1. Numeracy Parent Evening 10th March 2010

2. The New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum includes: Number and Algebra Statistics Geometry Measurement In the Junior School Number and Algebra makes up 80% of the programme. Statistics, Geometry and Measurement make up the other 20% of the programme – approximately 2 weeks each term. Maths lessons are taken 5 days a week, for 45 – 60 minutes a day

3. The NZ Numeracy Framework Each Numeracy Stage highlights key knowledge and strategy that a child should know. Strong knowledge is essential for students to broaden their strategies across a full range of numbers. Strategy Knowledge Creates new knowledge through use Provides the foundation for strategies

4. Knowledge and Strategy Knowledge – Number Identification, Number sequence and order, Grouping and place value, basic facts Strategy – Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Fraction and Proportions – these are also known as operations.

5. Numeracy Stages 0. Emergent One to One Counting Count from one on Materials Count from one by Imaging Advanced Counting Early Additive Part-Whole Advanced Additive Part-Whole Advanced Multiplicative Advanced Proportional Counters Adders Multipliers

6. Can you get me 7 counters from the pile please? 1,2,3,5,8...? The child can not consistently count a collection of objects. Emergent – Stage 0 Movie Clip

7. Can you get me 7 counters from the pile please? 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The child can count a set of objects up to ten but can’t join and separate sets like 4 + 3 = One to One Counting – Stage 1

8. Count From One on MaterialsStage 2 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. There are 4 counters and another 3 counters. How many are there altogether? The child solves the problem by using their fingers or other materials and counts from one. This is the expected National Standard after one year at school

9. Count From One By ImagingStage 3 There are 4 counters and another 3 counters. How many are there altogether? Counts in head1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The child counts all the objects from one by imaging visual patterns of the objects in their mind.

10. There are 9 counters under there and another 4 counters under there. How many are there altogether? Counts on 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. The child counts on from the largest number Advanced Counting – Stage 4

11. There are 9 counters under there and another 6 counters under there. How many are there altogether? “I know that If I take one off the 6 and put it on the 9 it =10. 10 + 5 = 15” The child counts on from the largest number Early Part-Whole – Stage 5

12. How can you help your child?

13. Knowledge Building Counting(cars, shells on beach, pegs, run around the house, how many steps you walk, count backwards, start from different numbers) Numbers before and after(Letter boxes, say a number, use a numberline, use number cards, write a number down, ladder game, keyboard numbers, using dice) Identifying numbers(Letter boxes, number plates, speed signs, how many km to go, number cards, combine numbers) Ordering numbers(Number cards, write some numbers down) Maths Ladder Children will bring home activities to that help them learn the knowledge they need for the Stage they are working at. www.nzmaths.co.nz

14. Stage 3 – Imaging ?????
