The purpose of this folio is to produce a collection of information, resources and reflections. Creating this folio will help you develop your skills in navigating theAustralian Curriculumor State or Territory curriculum, recognising the way in which concepts progress throughout the curriculum and identifying relevant resources to support teaching and learning.
For this assignmenttask, you'll be building upon your knowledge and understanding of the concept that you explored in your second assignmenttask, and exploring the learning progression throughout the primary years.

This assignment assesses the following unit learning outcomes:
- Describe how the relevant National and/or State or Territory curriculum for maths encourages understanding in mathematics and numeracy for children.
- Use ICT to develop children’s engagement with numeracy and mathematics.
You'll be required to choose three consecutive primary school levels to build your folio around (e.g. Foundation,YearOne andYear Two), and a maths concept that can be taught in each of these years.
Once you have selected your year levels, use theAssignment 3: Folio template (DOC 43 KB)and include the following information:
- Explore theAustralian Curriculumor your State or Territory curriculumand describe how your concept is addressed, and how it progresses throughout each of your selected primary school levels. (Approximately 200 words.)Please note: if you select Foundation level as one of your levels, it's appropriate for you to then acknowledge the progression from the early years.
- Choose just one content descriptor for each of your levels to focus on that directly correlates to your concept and shows a clear progression. (Approximately 40 words.)
- Find one resource for each of your content descriptors that you believe would effectively support the teaching and learning of each descriptor.Please note:Two of the three resources must be ICT resources.
- For each resource you must include the following information (approximately 120 words):
- Name of the resource.
- Evidence of the resource (e.g. screenshot and URL where applicable).
- A brief description of the resource.
- To accompany each resource, you are to provide a written rationale justifying how it can be used to enhance children’s learning and engagement with the selected content descriptor. Each rationale must be supported by academic literature. (Approximately 300 words.)
Please ensure that you make links to academic literature and curricula documentation to support your statements. If academic underpinning is not evident, you cannot pass this assignment.
Please ensure that you select specific resources (e.g. a specific app or web-based activity) that directly links to your selected content descriptions.
