Version 2
Editors: Kyla Marston & Kaye Stacey
|
 |
This CD-ROM is for teachers and teacher education students. It supports
the teaching of number and arithmetic from early primary into junior
secondary years. It explains the important mathematical principles,
demonstrates how these can be explained to children and shows both
expert performance and intermediate stages of algorithms. It is
useful for both practising teachers and teacher education students.
It can be used as part of a teacher education course or in-service
course, or as a stand-alone self-help program to improve basic understanding
of arithmetic and its underlying principles and increase knowledge
for teaching.
The CD has text, extensive graphics, slide shows and small movies
demonstrating solution methods of various stages of sophistication.
