Assessment for maths 3000 words all together Assessment overview The purpose of this folio task is to enable you to demonstrate your ability to generate and analyse plans of mathematics lessons and units using the structure and content of the Australian Curriculum. This task also enables you to further develop your skills in designing teaching strategies that take an inclusive and integrated approach and enable ICT to expand the teaching and learning of mathematics. Assessment details Folio outline This assessment task requires you to create a unit of work (over 3-5 lessons) for either an F-2 class, 3-4 class or a 5-6 class. Your unit of work should provide an opportunity for students to explore key concepts of each of the three content strands within the AC Maths across a series of related lessons. As part of the folio task you will need to compare and evaluate strategies and resources designed for mathematics teaching, as well as generate evidence of your capacity to plan and assess units and lessons based on sound pedagogical principles that demonstrate your understanding of the Australian Curriculum: Maths (ACARA, 2015). Folio topic/theme In determining a focus for your unit, you should choose a topic, theme, or pretext which connects the three content strands. You should also look for ways to incorporate inclusive, integrated and/or holistic approaches into your teaching and assessment design. Folio Structure Your unit of work folio will include the following items: Introduction. A detailed introduction contextualising the folio Unit plan with unit overview The unit plan should demonstrate how the lessons fit together as a whole and contribute to a students’ knowledge of a topic and meeting the overall objectives. The length of the unit should be 3 – 6 lessons, and demonstrate learning objectives and some form of assessment that students would be able to complete by the end of the unit. The unit plan and overview should include: · The objectives and aims of the unit o Pedagogical approaches · The background context-including year level and prior knowledge of students · The strands and elements from the Australian Curriculum that you are addressing · A plan noting the lessons and topic breakdowns (e.g. timeline overview of the unit) Resource list Provide a specific list of resources (including stimuli, texts, tools, ICT). All references should be appropriately cited using APA style. You can include this either as part of your lesson plans, your unit plan, or as a separate document, as long as this is captured and referenced correctly. For example, you may refer to these in your lesson plans for context, but direct to a separate list that is more specific with references. Lessons plans Provide lesson plans for each lesson in the unit that more specifically outline what activities students will be undertaking and how their skills and knowledge will be built over each lesson. The lesson plans should also highlight ...
