Reading - Numeracy and the preschool child

See new joint Inquiry 

Refocussing our inquiry

The team have decided that our original inquiry has run it's course to some degree and we have decided to refocus our inquiry. Our new inquiry question is:



How can the use of memory activities help priority learners make gains in mathematics so that they can more easily transition into stage 5 (use basic facts testing as a measuring tool).

Priority Learners Update

Have had a discussion with all of the parents of my priority learners.

K - Parent is working really hard to do a little bit of practise each night. When working with this child it is evident he is growing in confidence and knowledge of place value. Confident with numbers before and after to 100. 10 more/10 less, getting better.

CD - Mum says child gets very anxious with any practise including games at home. Very reluctant to do anything Maths related. We have decided it would be best not to continue pushing this at home.

CY - Grandma helps with practise most nights. Child counting on well now and able to confidently identify numbers before and after in a range to 100.
