Numeracy is an essential building block for young children to make a confident start to mathematics. This Handbook provides ideas to guide and support the teaching of Numeracy in Grades R-3, and to plan numeracy activities that:
- Start with real problems that present children with mathematics that is presented in meaningful contexts;
- Encourage children to represent their mathematical thinking and understanding verbally and graphically
- Involve children in a variety of dialogues which encourages them to reflect on their mathematical thinking.
