Requirements for each piece of evidence To produce and submit your folio you are required to use the EDU10003 Assignment 4: Folio template (DOCX 59 KB) Download EDU10003 Assignment 4: Folio template (DOCX 59 KB). This document contains three individual templates (one for each theme), as well as a section for your reference list. For each template you need to complete the following: 1. Choose an age group (Early Childhood) or Year Level (Primary). Select an appropriate curriculum link from the selected age group for each template. 2. Activity explanation (200 words) Activity explanation questions for Assignment 4: Folio A For templates 1 and 2: What is the resource and how will it be used (activity)? For template 3: What is the learning space and how will it be used (activity)? B For templates 1, 2 and 3: What will the students be doing during the activity? C For templates 1, 2 and 3: What is the teachers role during the activity? 3. Justification (200 words) Justify how the activity reflects how children best learn maths, making sure you explore the following in your discussion: Contemporary perspectives/pedagogical approaches Teaching strategies Important note: Links to relevant research and literature is expected within this section. You need to use APA referencing for in-text citations and include all in the reference list section of your EDU10003 Assignment 4: Folio template (DOCX 59 KB) Download EDU10003 Assignment 4: Folio template (DOCX 59 KB).

Selection of appropriate curriculum links Written communication and APA referencing Your work will be assessed using the following marking guide: Assignment 4 marking guide Criterion No Pass Pass 50-59% Credit 60-69% Distinction 70-79% High Distinction 80-100% Activity selection and explanation (40%) Did not meet the criterion. Three templates have been included. Further depth and/or clarity is needed in the activity explanations. There is evidence of some modern teaching ideas. Some understanding of quality maths activities is demonstrated across the templates. The activity explanations are mostly clear and demonstrate some understanding of modern teaching ideas. Further consideration for how the resources/learning space within the activities can be used as a vehicle for engagement was needed. Quality maths activities have been chosen that accurately meet the requirements of each theme. Each activity explanation is clear, well-considered and thorough. The activities demonstrate a sound understanding of modern teaching ideas. Original and creative ideas are evident as high-quality activities have been selected for each template that would engage children and support their mathematical development. The activity explanations demonstrate sophisticated awareness and inclusion of a variety of modern pedagogy. Justification of choice of activity. (40%) Did not meet the criterion. A written rationale has been attempted for each activity. The justification needs stronger links to contemporary pedagogy. There is an attempt to support some of the discussion with research literature. A written rationale has been provided for each activity. The justification demonstrates an understanding of contemporary pedagogy, although further depth and/or accuracy was needed. Discussions are consistently supported with relevant research literature from the unit materials. A written rationale has been provided for each activity that demonstrates depth and clarity. The justifications demonstrate a sound and accurate understanding of contemporary pedagogy. Discussions are consistently supported with good quality research literature. An in-depth and clearly articulated rationale has been provided for each activity. The justification demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of contemporary pedagogy. Discussions are seamlessly supported with a variety of academic literature. Selection of appropriate curriculum links. (10%) Did not meet the criterion. Curriculum links have been provided for each template. A limited understanding of the curriculum is evident as there are some inaccuracies demonstrated with the mathematics expectations and/or meaning of the selected curriculum links. Appropriate curriculum links have been provided for each template which mostly aligns with the expectations of the age group and the described activity. Accurate curriculum links have been provided for each template. The selection demonstrates an emerging awareness of how mathematics is addressed in the curriculum. All curriculum links provided are accurate and relevant to the activities included. The selection demonstrates a sound awareness of how mathematics is addressed in the curriculum. Communication and APA referencing (10%) Did not meet the criterion. The submission is generally easy to read. There are significant spelling and grammatical errors throughout. An attempt has been made to support ideas with research literature and use APA referencing style. The submission reads clearly and coherently. There are some spelling and/or grammatical errors throughout. APA referencing style has been followed with some errors throughout. The communication style is effective for the intended audience.
