Intent+of+Assessment

The intent of this assessment is to build considerable knowledge about the Australian Mathematics Curriculum and in particular the Number and Algebra Strand. As a team we will work to enhance each other’s understanding and interpretation of the curriculum and the pedagogy involved in teaching it.

Our team will analyse the declarative and procedural knowledge of our chosen sub-strand, Fractions and Decimals. We will define the ‘key stages’ of development with-in the Fractions and Decimal sub-strand and present these in a graphic organiser.

The graphic organiser will reveal:
 * Key Stage of development
 * Issues and challenges found in each key stage
 * Classroom examples and assessment of knowledge

This assessment will provide valuable curriculum and pedagogical mathematical knowledge based on theory.
