Description
The Learning Pathway is intended as a companion document to your current mathematics instruction and as an assessment tool you can use throughout the school year. The Learning Pathway is based on extensive research that shows all students progress through three global developmental stages (Counting, Part-Whole Thinking, and Proportional Reasoning) when learning the key topics in mathematics. It is designed to help you do the following:
- Plan ongoing assessment to determine your students' points of strength, as well as plan next steps for instruction
- Focus on key growth points that students travel through as they consolidate their content knowledge and apply their learning in real-world contexts
- Plan focused instruction to meet your students' needs, as well as guide formative assessment and reporting to parents
- Differentiate your instruction for student learning, according to the math that is just beyond each student's current ability
- Highlight the important roles that Knowledge, Application of Knowledge and Modelling and Communicating Mathematical Thinking play as students construct their understanding of concepts in mathematics
- Use signposts that follow the principles of student global developmental stages of growth in mathematics
- Establish a bridge between actual classroom practice and the curriculum
