Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: Scenario
CHCFC505A, Provide for children's developmental needs
Your Assignment Type: Case Scenario
Currently Working in Childcare? No
Your knowledge: Advanced Knowledge
Your Question?
The group of children who are going to school soon seem to be having difficulty with basic mathematical concepts of counting, sorting and grouping. Due to parental requests, you have decided to use the daily routines to support this learning.
a) how would you explain this to your assistant?
b) what changes to the routines would you make to encourage more mathematical concept building with the children
What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
a) dicussing with her about the stages each child is at with their mathematical concepts and then notifying her that some paretns have requested that their children be supported to master the concept. then i would give her the opportunity to express her idea on ways in which we can support the children's learning. afterwards i would then share my ideas and together as a team we would implement them
b) grouptime routine- using number flashcard, playing counting games( 5 currant buns), Gather together a basket of small toys, shells, pebbles or buttons. Count them with the children. Sort them based on size, color, or what they do (i.e., all the cars in one pile, all the animals in another).
