Numeracy

What is numeracy?

• Numeracy is the ability to understand and work with numbers.
• Numeracy is the ability to cook
• Numeracy is the ability to play musical instruments
• Numeracy is the ability to read and write

What is Mathematics?

• Mathematics is the study of animals
• Mathematics is the study of numbers, quantities, shapes, and patterns using logical reasoning and symbols.
• Mathematics is the study of history
• Mathematics is the study of cooking

What is an AB pattern?

• An AB pattern is a sequence of elements where the first element is followed by a different second element, but the pattern does not repeat.
• An AB pattern is a sequence of elements where the first element is followed by the same second element, and then the pattern repeats.
• An AB pattern is a sequence of elements where the first element is followed by the same second element.
• An AB pattern is a sequence of elements where the first element is followed by a different second element, and then the pattern repeats.

Early numeracy forms the foundation for all future mathematical learning. 

• False
• Maybe
• Partially true
• True

What is a repeating pattern?

• A repeating pattern is a sequence of elements that changes randomly.

• A repeating pattern is a sequence of elements that follows a specific order and repeats itself.

• A repeating pattern is a sequence of elements that never repeats.

• A repeating pattern is a sequence of elements that follows no order.

What is a number sequence?

• A number sequence is a list of numbers arranged in a specific order.

• A number sequence is a list of letters arranged in a specific order.

• A number sequence is a list of shapes arranged in a specific order.

• A number sequence is a list of colors arranged in a specific order.

It is important that when teaching numeracy skills, our activities need to include ...

• rich descriptive language and tactile experiences in activities

• numbers

• games

• pens and pencils

Number sense includes quantifying numbers, estimating, using additive and multiplicative strategies, as well as:

• sharing

• counting

• ordering

• all of these

"Here are three blocks. Could you please count them? Let’s add two more. How many blocks do we have now?”

This is an example of mathematical language for what concept?

• Spatial reasoning

• Measurement

• Patterning

• Number Sense

What type of pattern is this?

• Symmetrical

• Concentric pattern

• Growing Pattern

• AB pattern
