Links to Children's Rights
Maths enables children to develop their skills (Article 29) and so enables them to experience their rights related to survival and health (Articles 6, 24, 27) and develop their to ability to participate by making decisions and informed opinions (Articles 12, 13, 17).
What Matters in Mathematics and Numeracy
1. The number system is used to represent and compare relationships between numbers and quantities.
2. Algebra uses symbol systems to express the structure of mathematical relationships.
3. Geometry focuses on relationships involving shape, space and position, and measurement focuses on quantifying phenomena in the physical world.
4. Statistics represent data, probability models chance, and both support informed inferences and decisions.
Progression in Mathematics and Numeracy
In the Mathematics and Numeracy Area of Learning and Experience, the model of progression is based on the development of five interdependent proficiencies, outlined below. This model of progression can be considered as both longitudinal and cross-sectional. To ensure progress in any mathematics learning, proficiencies should be developed and connected in time and should also develop over time.
