Knowledge of Mathematical Content Audit

Knowledge of Mathematical Content Audit

Order Description

Task 1. Knowledge of Mathematical Content (KMC) Audit One of the key professional Standards for Graduating Teachers (see www.vit.vic.edu.au) is: Teachers know the

con-tent they teach.

The purpose of this audit is to identify any areas where you feel some further work is needed to demonstrate that you know the mathematical content you are expected to

be able to teach as a graduating primary school teacher.

Download and complete as instructed the Knowledge of Mathematical Content Audit .

The completed Audit , along with a half-page analysis of your own learning needs in mathematics, and a half-page account of your tuition of another student to address

their learning needs.

Rubric for AT1            TCHE2279 and TCHE2280                 2015

TCHE2279-2280 Knowledge of Mathematical Content Audit

One of the key professional Standards for Graduating Teachers (see www.vit.vic.edu,au) is: Teachers know the content they teach.

The purpose of this audit is to identify any areas where you feel some further work is needed to demonstrate that you know the mathematical content you are expected to

be able to teach as a graduating primary school teacher.

You are asked to read each section and/or descriptor of the Year 6 Australian Curriculum: Mathematics* below and colour the bubble (green, amber or red) according to

your level of knowledge and confidence.

Green: You understand what this means and you feel confident that you could demonstrate this by creating/solving one or more tasks at this level.
Amber: You feel you have some understanding of what this means but do not feel confident that you could create/solve an illustrative task at this level.
Red:     You do not feel that you really understand what this means and/or you are not confident that you could create/solve an illustrative task at this level.
The highlighted terms in the text below are hot-linked to a glossary if you look at the descriptors on the ACARA website (see also Siemon et al, 2011).

Year 6 Level Description
The proficiency strands Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning are an integral part of mathematics content across the three content strands: Number and

Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. The proficiencies reinforce the significance of working mathematically within the content and

describe how the content is explored or developed. They provide the language to build in the developmental aspects of the learning of mathematics.
At this year level:    Rating
Understanding includes describing properties of different sets of numbers, using fractions and decimals to describe probabilities, representing fractions and decimals

in various ways and describing connections between them, and making reasonable estimations    Fluency includes representing   integers on a number line, calculating

simple percentages, using brackets appropriately, converting between fractions and decimals, using operations with fractions, decimals and percentages, measuring using

metric units, and interpreting timetables    Problem Solving includes formulating and solving authentic problems using fractions, decimals, percentages and

measurements, interpreting secondary data displays, and finding the size of unknown angles
Reasoning includes explaining mental strategies for performing calculations, describing results for continuing number sequences, explaining the transformation of one

shape into another, explaining why the actual results of chance experiments may differ from expected results
