EDMAS6029 Numeracy and Digital Technology
This course is designed to provide Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) with a sound understanding of mathematics in the lives of babies, toddlers, and young children. It will explore theoretical, cultural, historical, and current approaches to teaching play-based mathematics and technology. It aims to build personal understanding of their own values and preferences toward mathematics and technology in their lives, and explore the use of digital technology as pedagogical tools. The student will explore regulatory requirements and importance of family preferences and expectations, as well as ways to document and share children's mathematical learning with families. Throughout the course, the students will build a resource of learning experiences to meet a variety of mathematical content that is informed by current curricula framework (EYLF/VEYLDF). PSTs will explore how these learning experiences can be modified to meet the needs of a range of children, including different ages, abilities, childrens interests, inclinations to explore, play and curiosities and funds of knowledge and their sense of fun and playfulness.
