Foreword The New Wave Maths Teachers Guide has been written to both supplement and support the New Wave Maths Workbook series based on the Western Australian Mathematics Student Outcome Statements.The New Wave Maths Teachers Guide provides a summary of three documents that are at the forefront of mathematical teaching and learning:

• Curriculum Frameworks;

• Student Outcome Statements; and

• National Outcome Statements.

Between the New Wave Maths Teachers Guide and the New Wave Maths Workbook, there is a comprehensive coverage of activities to assist the development of the students' mathematical concepts. However, student progress is very much in the hands of the teacher, his or her style of teaching and the provision made for each individual to ensure complete mastery of concepts is gained.

Introduction Mathematics provides methods of representing patterns, relationships and logic and developing mathematical knowledge. Students should be encouraged to speculate, observe and investigate, to explore and solve problems in mathematics in real-life situations. Mathematics is important to people in providing tools which can be used at the personal, civic and vocational level. A National Statement on Mathematics for Australian Schools, 1990 (pages 11 – 14) lists the following goals for school mathematics: 1. Students should develop confidence and competence in dealing with commonly occurring situations.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

2. Students should develop positive attitudes towards their involvement in mathematics. 3. Students should develop their capacity to use mathematics in solving problems individually and collaboratively. 5. Students should learn techniques and tools which reflect modern mathematics. 6. Students should exercise the processes through which mathematics develops.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

4. Students should learn to communicate mathematically.

A National Statement in Mathematics for Australian Schools, 1990 (page 15) continues in goal identification by determining that, as a result of learning mathematics in school, all students should: 1. realise that mathematics is relevant to them personally and to their community; 2. gain pleasure from mathematics and appreciate its fascination and power; 3. realise that mathematics is an activity requiring the observation, representation and application of patterns;

(a) conduct everyday affairs such as money exchanges, planning and organising events, and measuring;

(b) make individual and collaborative decisions at the personal, civic and vocational levels; and

m . u

4. acquire the mathematical knowledge, ways of thinking and confidence to use mathematics to:

5. develop skills in presenting and interpreting mathematical arguments; 6. possess sufficient command of mathematical expressions, representations and technology to:

o c . che e r o t r s super

(a) interpret information (for example, from a court case or media report) in which mathematics is used;

(b) continue to learn mathematics independently and collaboratively; and

7. appreciate:

(a) that mathematics is a dynamic field with its roots in many cultures; and

(b) its relationship to social and technological changes.

Appreciating Mathematics The following attitudes are seen as fundamental to the acquisition of processes and content and should be the focus of mathematical development. The attitudes are listed in Learning Mathematics Pre-Primary to Stage Seven Mathematics Syllabus Handbook (pages 6 – 7) as: 1. an awareness of the relevance of mathematics to life; 2. an ability to enjoy mathematical games and pursuits; 3. having pride in their skills and abilities; 4. being confident of their ability to experiment and solve problems; and 5. a willingness to express ideas and hypotheses.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

1. Show a disposition to use mathematics to assist with understanding new situations, solving problems and making decisions, showing initiative, flexibility and persistence when working mathematically and a positive attitude to their own continued involvement in learning and doing mathematics.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

These are summarised as part of the Appreciating Mathematics substrand found in The Curriculum Framework 1998 (page 180):

The development of positive attitudes towards mathematics is an important goal. This may be done by: 1. providing mathematical experiences relevant to the students' world;

2. providing students with mathematical opportunities to gain personal enjoyment and satisfaction; 3. providing activities which construct conceptual understanding through manipulation of materials and time to reflect on the activities;

5. providing mathematical activities which are appropriate to the students' levels of development; 6. recognising that students require differing amounts of time to complete tasks as they explore problems and ideas in a variety of ways; 7. assessment that reflects the teaching methods used; and

Learning Environment Much has been learnt about how students learn mathematics and the classroom conditions required to support that learning. The teaching of mathematics requires a suppor tive, stimulating, varied and rich mathematical learning environment that reflects the diversity of Australian society.There should be a wide range of resources that includes collected and commercial products. The classroom learning environment should encourage practical activity, the use of appropriate technology and discussion. Mathematics lessons should extend beyond a ‘chalk and talk’ or ‘textbook, pencil and paper’ subject. The Curriculum Framework, 1998 (pages 206 – 209) highlights the following perspectives on learning mathematics:

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

• Opportunity to learn

Learning experiences should enable students to engage with, observe and practise the actual ideas, processes, products and values which are expected of them. • Connection and challenge

Learning experiences should connect with students' existing knowledge, skills and values while extending and challenging their current ways of thinking and acting.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Action and reflection

Learning experiences should be meaningful and encourage both action and reflection on the part of the learner.

• Motivation and purpose

Learning experiences should be motivating and their purpose clear to the student.

• Inclusivity and difference

Learning experiences should respect and accommodate differences between learners.

• Independence and collaboration

Learning experiences should encourage students to learn both from, and with, others as well as independently.

The school and classroom setting should be safe and conducive to effective learning.

m . u

w ww

. te

• Supportive environment

These perspectives have several implications for teaching. They are listed as:

• a supportive environment for learning;

• appropriate mathematical challenge is provided; and

• fostering processes which enhance learning.

o c . che e r o t r s super

The teaching of mathematics is not definitive in approach or style but rather is influenced by the mathematical concept being taught, and the abilities, experiences and attitudes of the students. Enhanced mathematical learning is likely to occur when activities are provided which build upon and respect students’ experiences, and which the learner regards as purposeful and interesting. Feedback is critical to enhanced learning. Students need to believe that mathematics makes sense; therefore, clear and logical feedback on errors or inconsistencies is required. Students should be encouraged to take risks in a challenging environment to extend their knowledge. Challenges need to be achievable as success is critical in building positive attitudes towards mathematics. Success on easy or rote tasks does not enhance mathematical learning.

Language and Mathematics Developing appropriate language is important to the growth of a student’s conceptual understanding. Teachers need to be aware of the natural language used by students and respond appropriately to it. To assist in developing an understanding of mathematical ideas, students need to represent their knowledge in spoken and written words, with concrete material and with pictures, diagrams and graphs, and symbols. The use and development of appropriate language should also enhance mathematical learning. The use of appropriate language helps in working through and clarifying ideas.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Mathematical ideas are more likely to be developed when they are clearly labelled when discussed by students. Regular, clear and explicit use of mathematical expressions by the teacher is essential. Students should be encouraged to develop their knowledge and understanding of mathematical expressions by being encouraged to describe orally or in writing the situations in which they are involved.

. te

Teachers need to be aware of the individual differences of all students and provide learning experiences which develop a level of success and independence for each student. To do this, teachers plan lessons that build on current knowledge and allow progress and success at the students' own rate. New concepts should be introduced in simple form leading to the complex by using concrete materials and relevant examples. Where possible, use group work to allow for content language and ability differences. Keep parents well informed of their child’s progress and work with them to aid students in reaching their potential. Above all, provide a positive, receptive learning environment, acknowledging various differences. Students with special needs can be catered for by ensuring that fundamental concepts are understood before proceeding with dependent concepts. The identification of the initial point of difficulty must be made and the concept then developed from this stage. Instructions need to be given slowly, simply and clearly and then checked for understanding.

o c . che e r o t r s super

New Wave Maths allows individuals to achieve at their own rate by providing a number of similar activities. The series may also be used at differing stages of students' development so the workbook chosen is level-appropriate rather than Year-level specific, because each book is sequentially developmental with both the previous and following book. By allowing students to work to their capacity on activities, teachers are also able to provide the learning opportunities for individual students to perform at their optimum level.

General Content Outline Goals and Guidelines Students learn at different rates and in different ways and bring to school a diverse range of attitudes and experiences from living within different cultural and geographic settings. Because of this we require uncommon curricula to achieve common outcomes. Young students develop strong mathematical values if activities reflect the mathematics inherent in home activities. Activities should use a wide variety of materials and be presented in a problem-solving format that has meaning to the child.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

The student relies on visual perceptions of concrete materials and needs to manipulate these materials extensively to begin developing concepts. Conservation of number and measurement is not yet developed. However, some awareness of size, shape, position and movement has developed.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Mathematical thinking will reflect, in most instances, the students' family as this is the centre of their personal world. Many cultural beliefs will reinforce the values shown by students at this age. Strengths in spatial knowledge and number should be utilised as starting points for the development of mathematical ideas.

In all activities the development of mathematical language should be a key focus. Students should be encouraged to question mathematical aspects of their world and seek to answer such questions themselves, or in collaboration with their peers. Students should be encouraged to persist with problems and ask questions. They are also more able to think of concepts as mathematical objects in their own right. With teaching emphasising the investigation of mathematical ideas and relationships, students should also be learning to make speculations and to test them.

The teaching of processes is necessary to develop independent problem-solvers. Therefore, for students to acquire concepts, skills and factual knowledge, opportunities need to be provided in settings that foster positive attitudes to mathematics. The Curriculum Programs Branch, Ministr y of Education, 1989, publication Learning Mathematics: Pre-Primary to Stage Seven Mathematics Syllabus Handbook (page 4) lists the following processes as part of the learning of mathematics. These processes are not tied to one particular aspect of content but are used across a range of areas: 1. comprehension of mathematical information given in oral and/or written forms; 2. selection of appropriate strategies; 3. purposeful use of materials;

4. selection of appropriate operations to solve problems;

o c . che e r o t r s super 5. reflection in actions to formulate ideas;

6. expression of mathematical ideas in words, pictures and symbols; 7. construction of lists, tables and graphs;

8. estimation of number and measurement activities; 9. identification of patterns and relationships; 10. classification, ordering and comparing;

11. analysis and interpretation of information; 12. formulation of hypotheses; and 13. justification of conclusions and inferences. Understanding, skills and knowledge relationships make up the content that builds up conceptual structures.

R.I.C. Publications® www.ricpublications.com.au

New Wave Maths Book A – Teachers Guide • 5 •

In the New Wave Maths series the following areas of mathematical content are included:

1. Working Mathematically – develops mathematical thinking processes through conceptualising, investigating, applying and verifying and reasoning mathematically.

2. Space – describes and analyses the features of objects, environments and movements through location, shape, transformations and geometric reasoning.

3. Measurement – using direct and indirect measurement and estimation skills in length, area, mass, volume and capacity and time.

4. Chance and Data – using knowledge of chance and data processes to collect and organise data, summarise and represent data, interpret data and understand chance.

5. Number – using operations, number concepts and relationships in the number system to calculate, reason about number patterns and understand numbers and operations.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S Appreciating Mathematics

Students appreciate mathematics through using it to assist with understanding new situations, solving problems and decision making, and show a positive attitude in learning and doing mathematics. They should also recognise mathematical origins from a range of cultures, its significance in reflecting social and historical contents and understand its significance in explaining and influencing aspects of our lives.

Working Mathematically

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

The Curriculum Framework, 1998 (pages 183 – 193) identifies seven clusters of outcomes, some of these being:

Students should not wait to be told but rather be actively involved in calling on a range of problem-solving techniques, personal and collaborative management strategies and appropriate technology to find solutions to practical problems. To do this students need to choose mathematical ideas and tools to fit the constraints of a practical situation. They need to interpret and make sense of the results within the content then evaluate the work done to determine the appropriateness of the methods used. Much of the work done will involve investigation, generalisation and reasoning about patterns in number, space and data and justification of conclusions reached.

m . u

w ww

. te

Problems in the New Wave Maths series relate to the students' immediate physical and social world. Problems are aimed at attracting and involving children so they develop an ownership over them and their solutions. Children should be encouraged to persist with problems and checking their mathematical work. Children are encouraged to make speculations and test them under a range of circumstances.

o c . che e r o t r s super Problem-solving

The classroom teacher has an important role in the development of processes used in problem-solving. Through guidance, discussion and experimentation, students are able to adopt different strategies to solve problems and appreciate that there is more than one approach to a solution. The following broad strategies may be of assistance in helping students solve non-routine problems: 1. Understand the problem – rewording, breaking into smaller parts may assist. 2. Prepare a plan to solve the problem – working from the known to the unknown, draw diagrams, tables, charts to assist. 3. Carry out the plan – using different strategies as appropriate. 4. Review final solution to check and discuss its reliability and validity.

R.I.C. Publications® www.ricpublications.com.au

By asking questions of the student, providing hints (without providing answers), having students suggest strategies, guiding discussion and comparison of strategies used and providing extension to the original problem, the teacher helps the students develop processes which allow generalisation to a variety of other situations. It is the teacher’s responsibility to provide experiences which contribute to the construction of each student’s mathematical understanding. Each student is an individual with different experiences and knowledge. The teacher should recognise that because of this the student may interpret the teaching in a different way.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Students move through a number of phases as they develop understanding. Students manipulate the materials and work through activities guided by open-ended questioning and discussion. The activities are explored by the students using the processes as listed in Learning Mathematics Pre-Primary to Stage Seven Mathematics Syllabus Handbook, 1989 (pages 16 – 18): 1. observing and identifying; 2. comparing, ordering and classifying; 3. making patterns and arrangements;

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

In accepting the individuality of each student, teachers should also accept that students will interpret teaching in different ways and need new content to be presented by easily understood, believable methods and for that content to be seen as more useful than knowledge already held. Knowledge that students already hold is important to later learning and should be used as the basis for subsequent teaching through learning activities which are relevant to the students' environment. Encouragement of discussion within the class allows for reflection on experiences and understanding. Where students lack the skills required to complete a task satisfactorily, more effective alternative methods that nurture their understanding need to be used.

Then follows a period of consolidation of understanding through further activities that embody the mathematical idea. Students should apply and extend their understanding through work in familiar, and then more novel, contexts.

Number Students should be able to count in one-to-one correspondence situations, develop cardinal and ordinal concepts to 10, as well as be able to combine and separate small sets of objects in informal settings. The New Wave Maths series focuses heavily on these activities and on developing the use of number sequence to determine the number of items in the set. There are also extensive activities requiring the combinations and partitioning of numbers to assist the development of the value of a number as a composition of other numbers. Students at this stage need a lot of varied experiences using concrete materials involving estimating, counting, ordering, classifying, sorting and comparing. By the end of Year 1, students should be able to use verbal, pictorial and symbolic representation of number to 10.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Recommended Progression for Algorithms

• Use concrete materials to manipulate and arrange objects with either oral or written answer in addition and subtraction.

• Counting equivalent sets by two, threes, fours and fives up to 20.

• Sharing objects in practical situations.

Year 2

• Using basic facts to 9 + 9 = 18 and adding three numbers each less than 6. It is recommended that concrete materials are used.

• Symbol 'x' is introduced to assist with grouping. Use of language to support activities – 'lots of', 'sets of' or 'groups of' to 20 or 30.

• Division experience is through sorting, sharing and grouping activities using concrete materials.

• Introduction to open number sentences. For example:

Initially, students will make judgments of more or less, bigger or smaller, equal to or not equal to when applying measurement to objects. Students will need to be guided to an awareness of the attributes of length, area, mass, capacity and time in order to make appropriate comparisons. A wide and continuous range of activities is an integral component of the program.

o c . che e r o t r s super

Development of the language of mathematics will take time but is an essential part of the learning process. Language is developed as part of the direct comparison of objects. Encouragement in estimation and checking will assist in developing children's preparedness to make educated guesses and develop the habit of checking for accuracy.

Chance and Data

Students will be involved in investigations that develop the use and understanding of the language of chance and, from this, make a statement about the likelihood that an event will occur. A range of activities in classifying objects will help develop classification skills. Results may be represented in graph form – concrete or pictorial. Comparisons of records may then be made.

Technology Calculators are an important technological resource in the teaching and learning of mathematics. The calculator should be used as both an instructional aid and as a computational tool. With the advent of cheaper and more sophisticated calculators there comes a natural de-emphasis on written calculations. There is, as a consequence, a reduction in the complexity of written computation work but a clear emphasis on the use of concrete material to improve understanding of concepts to be developed through the New Wave Maths series. Greater emphasis is placed on quick and accurate mental computation. Students' expected level of written computational skill is to a two-digit by two-digit multiplication, addition or subtraction sum, and a single divisor into a two-digit number for division.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Mental calculations and calculator use need to be developed as these form the basis of most computational needs of adults in real-life situations. It is strongly recommended that all students use calculators at all Year levels (K–12). The Learning Mathematics Handbook Pre-Primary to Stage Seven Mathematics Syllabus, 1989 (pages 30 – 31) details where calculators can be used as an instructional aid to:

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

An emphasis on knowledge of basic addition and multiplication facts and relationships, place value understanding, estimation, checking of results and confidence in applying appropriate calculations is essential.

• assist in the development of mathematical content and processes; for example, place value, multiplication as repeated addition and the learning of basic facts;

• provide immediate feedback on a student’s own calculation so errors and misunderstandings can be remedied; and

• improve attitudes towards mathematics through its effective use.

As a computational aid, the calculator can:

• enable attention to focus on mathematical processes by allowing calculations to be done swiftly and accurately by all children; for example, in problem-solving or investigative activities;

• enable rules or patterns to be discovered and investigated, by generating many examples in a short time;

• encourage students to employ a wider range of strategies to solve problems; and

• allow students to use data drawn from real life, rather than artificial numbers chosen to make the computation easier; for example, in exploring distances or costs of shopping.

Computers also have their place in the mathematical learning environment and should be accorded appropriate time. Computers may be used for ‘number crunching’ and data analysis; as a simulation device; for graphics and symbol manipulation; and for running spreadsheets. Teachers need to select software which is sufficiently flexible and open-ended to allow children to develop their own ideas and use their initiative. The computer can be used in problem-solving, investigations, modelling, strategy games, refining ideas, concept development, skill development and gaining factual knowledge. There is still a place for textbooks in the teaching and learning of mathematics. However, emphasis must be placed on the need to use a variety of print materials. No single text is likely to cater for the interests of all students or cover the mathematics curriculum in full. The New Wave Maths series provides a solid foundation and allows teachers the opportunity to add their own ideas and activities to suit their individual class and students.

Assessment Assessment is a critical component of the teaching program and is outlined in The Curriculum Framework, 1998 (pages 210 – 212) by these points:

• Valid

Assessment should provide valid information on the actual ideas, processes, products and values which are expected of students.

• Educative

Assessment should make a positive contribution to students' learning.

• Explicit

Assessment criteria should be explicit so that the basis for judgments is clear and public.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

• Fair

Assessment should be demonstrably fair to all students and not discriminate on grounds that are irrelevant to the achievement of the outcome. • Comprehensive

Judgments on student progress should be based on multiple kinds and sources of evidence.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Assessment is a crucial aspect of the mathematics learning process. Assessment provides feedback on individual development to the student, teachers and parents. It provides the information for future teaching. All the outcomes of the school mathematics curriculum should be reflected in the assessment process. All assessments should be demonstrably fair, valid and reliable. The fairness of mathematical testing is brought into question by the practice of using one form of test only. Individual students respond to different environments in different ways; therefore the use of a single assessment tool, such as a pencil and paper test, may be valid and reliable but not fair, as the individual may respond better to short-answer questions, extended response questions or other forms of assessment. Hence, using nonrepresentative sampling of the mathematics curriculum outcomes or narrow sampling methods of assessment may be unfair to many students.

m . u

w ww

. te

It is clearly understood now that conventional forms of tests (pencil and paper) cannot address all areas of the mathematics curriculum; therefore, additional, not alternative, methods of assessment must be developed. Such methods include: teacher observation and questioning; structured interviews with students; paper and pencil tests; oral tests; practical skill tests; work- or project-based assessment; collected samples of students’ independent work; individual homework assignments; group reports; anecdotal records; self-assessment; and peer assessment.

o c . che e r o t r s super

It is recommended that students' mathematics be assessed using the Student Outcome Statements. Commercially prepared assessment packages are available from R.I.C. Publications as follows: Maths Assessment Level 1 (RIC-0028) Maths Assessment Level 2 (RIC-0029) Maths Assessment Level 3 (RIC-0030) Maths Assessment Level 4 (RIC-0087) Where possible, links to these pages have been included in the teachers notes, pages 20 – 179. New Wave Maths is not a stand-alone assessment document. Activities may be assessed based on Student Outcome Statements. Teachers will need to be familiar with these to make the appropriate assessments. All activities may be assessed in this way. It is suggested that a random sample of activities only is assessed using Student Outcome Statements to determine progress.

Cross-curriculum Linkages The learning and application of mathematics occurs across all curriculum areas. Literacy skills are developed in the English learning area where language foundations are provided that are essential for the learning of mathematics. Mathematics also provides for the development of language skills.Together, English and mathematics provide the information skills used in activities such as reading the newspaper, information text such as a telephone directory, and preparing and presenting reports. Spatial and measurement tasks are interwoven in many art activities which may in themselves provide alternative stimulus for the learning of mathematical skills. Data collection and interpretation skills as well as measuring activities are a part of both The Society and Environment and Health and Physical Education areas.

• When students are ready, work with them with the graph at the top of the workbook to count the stars after each player’s name, and decide who has the most and who has the least. Comparison may be made directly. • Ask the students in the class to line up according to whether they like red, blue, green or yellow the best. (Students will need to take their workbook and pencils with them.) • Count how many in each line. As each student is counted, colour one box in the column above that colour. Students will require help to do this. Pair weaker students with those who understand to assist with completing the graph. • When completed, explain to the class that they have made their own graph showing the number of students in their class who like red, yellow, green or blue the best. • Students may be asked to say which colour has the most students in its column and which has the least.

Main Activity (S1.1) Warm up

• Play a game of follow the leader—inside or outside. Change the leader frequently, but allow a fairly free rein on where the leader goes. • Direct the leader to follow a path using given directions—go from the class to the library. Change leader—go to the office. Change leader—go to the Year 7 class. Change leader— go to the oval. Use your own choice of destinations. • Explain to the class that they are following a path each time they move from one place to another.

w ww

• Paths may be drawn on a map to show where a person has moved. In the workbook, as the students to point to them, mark the classroom door, the library, the drinking fountain and the office in turn with a different coloured pencil or crayon. Use a cross, tick or dot to mark each location. • Check to see that all locations have been identified. • Ask students to select a coloured pencil or crayon and place it on the classroom mark. Draw a line to show the path they would follow to arrive at the library. Check paths. Continue from the library to the drinking fountain. Check paths. Continue to the office. Check paths. Return to class. Check paths. • Discuss with the class the choice of paths (these may differ for different students). Explain that all choices are correct. • Ask students to find the start point on the grid. The task is to draw a path moving from one grid square to a neighbouring one to reach the end. The path may not pass through any coloured squares. • Ask students if they can find a shorter path. Check results.

The student is able to: • offer questions when prompted by the teacher. • ask ‘why’ or ‘how’ mathematical questions of other children. • manipulate objects mentioned in a problem to find a solution.

• pencil • four playdough shapes as pictured in the workbook (one set, or several if working in groups)

• more, less • bigger, smaller • shape • cylinder, ball, sphere, cube • flat • height • width

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

• The aim of the activity is to introduce the concept of the conservation of mass. Each of the shapes pictured has been made with the same amount of playdough. • At this stage of their development, most students will not understand this concept if the shapes are different. To them, one shape will appear to have more playdough in it. It could be the squashed flat shape as it seems to cover a greater area, the cylinder because it is the longest, and so on. • Show students the playdough shapes. Ask them questions about the shape, size, width and height of each. Words and phrases can be written on the blackboard/whiteboard. • Direct students to look at the playdough shapes in their workbook. • Ask them to circle the shape they think has the most playdough. • For Exercise 3, students’ answers may need to be scribed. • Discuss the various answers with the class.

What to do

ew i ev Pr

• The aim of the activity is for students to identify and discuss how and why particular shapes and colours are used for signs and symbols in their environment. • Direct students to look at each sign in their workbook. Ask questions about the shape, size, picture and wording on each. Ask students if they would be able to work out what each sign meant if there was no wording. Discuss the meaning of each sign. • Brainstorm other signs that include a shape. A walk around the school could add to the list. Signs could be drawn on the blackboard/whiteboard for students to refer to. If photographs or pictures are available, these could also be shown and discussed. • Students draw two more signs in their workbook. Discuss with a partner and share with the class. Note: • The colour red is used on signs to indicate danger or a warning, in the identification and location of firefighting equipment and in signs involving traffic regulations. • Yellow is used in traffic advisory signs. • Green is used on first aid and emergency escape routes. (This is why ambulances are now identified by a green checkerboard pattern.)

Main Activity (S1.3) Warm up

• Students open workbooks and use a mira or mirror placed along the dotted line to see what the other half of the drawing will look like.

What to do

• Explain that each drawing is completed by drawing the mirror image (reflection) of the drawing shown on the page. The reflection will be exactly the same size as the drawing shown but on the right hand side of the dotted line. • Work with the whole class and have them follow your instructions as they draw. • Place your ruler underneath the top line of the top picture. How many squares does the line cross? (4) Start at the dotted line and draw a line four squares wide to the right of the dotted line, use your ruler as a guide. • The next line is at an angle to the first line. How many squares does it pass through? (2) From the end of the line you have just drawn, place your ruler so that it passes through two squares and draw a line to finish at the corner of the second square. From the end of this line draw a line one square long down the page. Place your ruler under the next line across the page. How long is this line? (3) Draw this line. The next line is two squares straight down. The next line is how many squares long? (3) This line starts at the end of your last line and moves at an angle away from the dotted line to finish in the corner of the third square. Use your ruler to draw this line. The next line is three squares long and is drawn back towards the dotted line. Draw a line from the end of this line one square up the page. Draw the next line from the end of the last line two squares long towards the dotted line. This line finishes one square out from the dotted line. Draw the next line three squares long, one square out from the dotted line. The final line is from the end of the last line drawn to the end of the bottom line on the original drawing. • Repeat the process for the second drawing. Start with the top line of four squares and so on. Note: A mira is a plastic maths tool which both reflects what is in front and lets you see through to what is behind.

A graph is a presentation of information that makes it simpler for us to read and understand. • Graphs are most often in pictorial or drawn form.The two graphs in the workbook show information on books read and the number of goals shot in a game of netball. • By looking at the graph of books - which person read the most books? How can you tell? (Count or tallest column) Who read the least? • Ask students to count the books read by each person and record the total in the space provided. • The graph showing the goals scored shows two quarters having the same number of goals scored. Which two quarters are those? Which quarter had the most goals scored? • How many goals were scored altogether? Record the answer in the square provided.

What to do

• Direct students to take out 5 items. Ask them to take another 3 items. Which group has the most? How many more than the smaller group? It may help students if items from each group are placed in a line and the items are paired where possible to assist students to find the differences between quantity in the two groups. • Repeat this many times. Make the first group the larger at times and on other occasions make the second group larger. Encourage students to verbalise their work at all times. • Written records of this activity may be made by completing the workbook page. Concrete materials may be used to place over the drawings if this will assist students. • Use a large number and individual student number lines to work the following examples. Ask the students to follow your instructions and repeat what you say. ‘How many more is seven than five?’ Point to 7 in the number line. Point to 5 on the number line. ‘Repeat after me - start at 5, 6, 7. Seven is 2 more than 5. I needed to add on two (count two numbers) to reach 7 from 5’. (Students may keep a record using their fingers or counters to note numbers counted on; e.g. start at 5 - 6, one finger, 7 two fingers - 2 more than 5.) • Repeat this a number of times then use the workbook examples as written records. Use the same process for written records.

• The aim of the activity is to identify and discuss how and why numbers are used in their environment. • This activity can be completed individually, with a partner or as a whole class. Assistance in writing the answer may be required. • Direct students to look at each number sign in their workbook. Individually, perhaps after class or partner discussion, students make a written explanation about what the numbers in each sign are used for. • Words and phrases could be written on a blackboard/whiteboard before students write in their workbooks. • A follow-up activity could be to show photographs or pictures of number signs and discuss them. Students can also brainstorm signs and these can be drawn on the blackboard/ whiteboard. Note: The car licence plate has been altered to avoid inadvertently identifying a real motor vehicle. The name and address on the letter are fictitious, though 6024 is Greenwood’s postcode.

Teac he r

• The focus for this unit is basic facts of addition using drawings to represent numbers.

Main Activity (C&D1.2, C&D1.3) Warm up

• Revise graphs. Use students to stand in lines, one for boys and one for girls. Change the graph to hair colour, eye colour, type of clothes etc. Ask students how many in each group, which group has the most, least, etc.

What to do

• Remind students that the graph they will be completing will have one picture to show one item just as one child showed one person for each of the human graphs just made. • Ask students to stand if they have a dog as a pet. Write the number on the blackboard/ whiteboard. Continue for cat, bird, fish, guinea pig or other pets, recording the total each time. • Ask students to draw a picture of the pet or a person for each person who had a particular type of pet; e.g. five dogs as pets, draw five dogs in the column above the word dogs, or draw five people. • Continue for each different type of pet, showing the totals. • Discuss the final graph with the class. Discuss most types of pets, least types and how many pets there are altogether.

• Distribute concrete materials to groups of students. Allow time for free play.

What to do

• Direct students to take out 5 items. Ask them to take another 3 items. Which group has the most? How many more than the smaller group. It may help students if items from each group are placed in a line and the items are paired where possible to assist students to find the differences between quantity in the two groups. • Repeat this many times. Make the first group the larger at times and on other occasions make the second group larger. Encourage students to verbalise their work at all times. • Written records of this activity may be made by completing the workbook page. Concrete materials may be used to place over the drawings if this will assist students. • Emphasise the comparison of the two sets and the difference between the two sets. Discuss how students will find the difference – direct comparison, adding on from smaller group (coupling), counting back from larger group.

What to do

• The aim of the activity is for students to devise the best way to count the Smarties™. • The activity can be completed individually, with a partner, in a small group or as a whole class. Some students may be more successful in mixed-ability groups rather than sameability groups (or partners). Some groups/partners will be able to work independently while others may need guidance. • Individually, or after partner, group or class discussion, students count the Smarties™ and use words and/or pictures to explain how they counted them. • Discuss the methods used and difficulties encountered. For example, if they crossed them out as they counted, one or more could have been missed; if they counted by colour, made a tally of each and added the totals, a miscalculation could have been made. • A follow-up activity could be to count the number of actual Smarties™ in a box. Can any of the same methods be used as in the workbook activity?

• Ask students to find the path through the workbook maze. Most should find the shortest route themselves. • Ask students to find an alternative path. (Use a different colour.) Share the findings with the whole class. This may be done on the overhead by following the path as described by the student or by copying his/her path onto the overhead. • Ask students to trace along the two pieces of string, using a different colour for each, to find the matching ends.

What to do

• Direct students to their workbook and explain that they will each have ten throws of the die. Each time the student throws the die, he/she records the number shown next to the number of the throw—if the first throw is a 3, write 3 next to ‘First’. • When all members of the group have had their 10 throws, the numbers shown on the die are recorded on the graph. If first throw was 3, one box above the number 3 on the graph is coloured. If the second throw was a 1, the first box above the number 1 is coloured. • Continue until one box for each of the ten throws has been coloured. • The graph will now show how often each number on the die showed up and which was the number that showed most, least and in between.

What to do

• Introduce Carroll diagrams. There are times when just the number of a group of items is recorded so that the total in each group can be read and the largest number can be seen. • A Carroll diagram can be used to show boys and girls and their eye colour. All boys with blue eyes stand here. All girls with blue eyes stand next to the boys but not with them. Use interconnecting cubes to show how many boys and girls there are in each group. All boys with green eyes stand next to the boys with blue eyes. Girls with green eyes stand in a group beside the girls with blue eyes and the boys with green eyes. Continue for the rest of the eye colours. There will be a row of groups of boys and a row of groups of girls and columns of eye colours.The interconnecting cubes will have recorded this. Alternatively, a blank of the Carroll diagram may have been drawn on the blackboard/whiteboard and the numbers in each group filled in as the groups are arranged. • Repeat for hair colour, family size (includes parents and children) and for birthplace. These activities may be spread over more than one session.

Student Outcomes Working Mathematically

Number

WM1.1 The student talks about some of the ways numbers, shapes and time are used by self and family. WM1.2 The student, with guidance, poses questions which can be answered by classifying, matching, ordering or counting objects and represents mathematical questions by acting out a story, or showing it with objects or pictures. WM1.3 No outcomes specified at Level 1. WM1.4 The student begins to show some self-correcting behaviour in mathematical activities.

S1.4

The student visualises self-generated or orallypresented number stories and partitions of small numbers, and represents them in materials, drawings, with a calculator or by role playing. The student uses counting and other strategies to mentally solve self-generated or orally-presented questions from stories involving small numbers. The student copies, continues and makes repeating and counting patterns and uses numbers to represent these patterns.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

The student uses and interprets familiar everyday language for the position of things, their movements, and paths between them. The student pays attention to shape in making or drawing things which are remembered, imagined, seen or handled. The student repeats, reorients and turns over things when matching shapes and making pictures and patterns. The student talks about likenesses and differences between things which can be seen or handled and begins to connect shape, movement and function.

Parent Information Expectations of Knowledge of Basic Facts Year 1 An informal, general introduction to number and combinations.

Year 2 Discovery approach (manipulating concrete material) to finding and learning addition and subtraction facts.

Year 3

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Discovery and some recall of addition and subtraction facts. Use the terms 'add' or 'subtract' rather than 'plus' or 'minus'. Learn basic multiplication facts of 2, 3, 4 and 5 and multiples of 10, to 10 times 10.

Year 4

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Consolidate basic sums to 18, and differences taking from 18. Extend recall of basic multiplication and division facts to facts of 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables.

Year 5

Recall basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.

Years 6 and 7

Automatic response is desirable.

The following suggestions can be used at home to assist your child in becoming more proficient in gaining automatic recall of the basic number facts. The ideas are not exclusive, many alternatives may be used.

1 'Flashcards' – with all combinations of basic facts, hold up, child responds with the answer.

Flashcards can be easily made from light card (cereal packet) or by purchasing blank playing cards and writing basic facts on these.

2 'Snap' – played with flashcards.

. te

m . u

w ww

Play as for ordinary snap. A variation – write pairs of numbers on cards, or blank playing cards, without operation signs. Child may add, subtract, multiply or divide the pair of numbers to find a matching pair.

3 Throw two dice then either add, subtract or multiply the two numbers shown. 4 Race the calculator.

o c . che e r o t r s super

Call out a basic fact, while you work out the answer using the calculator your child attempts to race you to the correct answer working mentally.

5 'Sums, Differences, Products' (add, take, multiply) – The game is played using a hundred chart.

Call a pair of numbers from the basic facts. Your child covers the sum, the difference and the product of the two numbers called on the hundreds chart. Play for a given time—for example, five minutes—or until all of a set of basic facts have been used.

'Bingo' – The game is played as for ordinary bingo. You call a basic fact, use basic number fact sheet, your child covers the correct answer if it is on the card. First to cover the card or a line wins the game.

7 When using board games encourage your child to add onto the total when throwing the die, or add the total of the dice, rather than counting on.

'Numero' is one of the best mathematical games available which can be used at home to develop mathematics skills. • 226 • New Wave Maths Book A – Teachers Guide

Parent Information Primary School Mathematics The Algorithm The mathematics syllabus aims at standardising the recording of the algorithms throughout Western Australia. However, there will still be some minimal variance within and between schools. The following examples show the recommended method of recording the written algorithm for each of the four processes. These formats are not prescriptive, but are recommendations. In all cases, the ultimate aim is to arrive at the simplest (usually the shortest) form of recording the algorithm. A simplistic progression is shown for the development of each algorithm from Year 1 to Year 7.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Combining and Separating – Addition and Subtraction

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

Year 1 – Concrete activities are recorded in number sentence form – first written recordings may possibly be made late in Year 1. The same form of recording is used in Years 2 and 3. In Year 3, adding and subtracting without regrouping are also recorded in vertical form. Vertical recording continues through to Year 7, with regrouping and increased difficulty of examples. When subtracting, always start with the top number. Year 1 Use concrete materials to manipulate and arrange objects with either oral or written answer in addition and subtraction. Year 2 Using basic facts to 9 + 9 =18 and adding three numbers each less than 6. It is recommended that concrete materials are used.

Grouping and Sharing – Multiplication and Division

Commencing in Year 2, concrete activities are recorded, using the multiplication symbol in number sentence from late Year 2 or as ready. Number sentence recording of concrete activities is carried on into Year 3. The written algorithm is introduced in its extended form in Year 4, working to the abbreviated form when the child understands the process. Year 1 Counting equivalent sets by twos, threes, fours and fives up to 20. Sharing objects in practical situations.

m . u

w ww

Year 2 Symbol 'x' is introduced to assist with grouping. Use of language to support activities – 'lots of', 'sets of' or 'groups of' to 20 or 30. Division experience is through sorting, sharing and grouping activities using concrete materials. Introduction to open number sentences.

Parent Information Developing Mathematical Awareness Dear Parent(s) Set homework is not expected at this level; however, you can help your child develop an awareness of mathematics and its place in the real world by involving him/her in simple activities as outlined here: • allowing your child to help with cooking – making simple measures • reading the time for your child • estimating how long it takes to complete activities; for example, shower, travel to school or shops etc. • counting objects • recognising numbers in the environment • counting by twos; for example, car or truck tyres, legs on dogs, cats etc. • grouping objects by shape, size, colour, use • discussing placement of objects, people or animals; for example, near, beside, below, above, in, inside, under, between, in front, behind, etc. to develop the language of mathematics.

ew i ev Pr

• encouraging your child to combine or separate sets – add or subtract – when in small quantities; less than ten • comparing lengths, heights, widths, cover surfaces with materials with your child. Encouraging him/her to talk about these activities with you. Above all, encourage and support your child in his/her mathematical endeavours. Kind regards

Parent Information Concrete to Mental – Including the Calculator

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Dear Parent(s) There are a number of different means of completing the four algorithms. Children start by using concrete materials to work through the algorithms to develop understandings. As their knowledge and understanding develop, students move to more abstract means of achieving the solutions to the algorithms. These solutions may be achieved by pencil and paper calculations or by working the solutions mentally (the ultimate aim). During these developmental phases children will encounter algorithms that are complex, difficult or are a means to another step or the final solution. In such cases, the child should be encouraged to use a calculator to find the solution to the algorithm. The calculator is an invaluable aid in mathematics and its use is to be encouraged from the very beginning of a child's days at school. Children who have great difficulties in completing algorithms are to be encouraged to use the calculator to find the solutions after first estimating the answer. Estimation skills are essential in showing the development of mathematical knowledge. Should you encounter any problems, please contact me. Kind regards
