What to do:
Accumulate a resource pack of mathematics
resources consisting of at least 4 different kinds of
resources / tools and at least 10 separate resources
/ tools for supporting mathematics teaching and learning.
Note: Only one of the kinds of
resource tools may be either informational (e.g. history
of mathematics) or mathematics worksheets. The other
three kinds of resource should be supporting OBE practice,
especially learner-centered activities.
Link each resource with curriculum assessment standards.
Evaluate the resource in terms of
how it can support
a) the roles of the educator
b) teaching and learning approaches.
What to submit:
You should produce one document using
the template that links for Activity 11 on the CD.
Save the completed template as <your_student_number>-Elective3-resource-list
. e.g. 205654321-Elective3-resource-list
Save your e-diary as <your_student_number>-Elective3-ediary
.
e.g. 205654321-Elective3-ediary
Save your collaboration log as <your_student_number>-Elective3-collaboration
.
e.g. 205654321-Elective3-collaboration
Submit the saved resource list document,
the e-diary and e-mail log as file attachments in e-mail
to your tutor (using the subject heading "Maths1 Assignment") . |
