The idea of numeracy as the ability to apply maths skills to everyday life
sees real-life examples flourish, an example of this is the teaching of
fractions using cutting a cake.

WEEK 1:
Highlight, discuss and reflect on mathematics education, the curriculum, the organisation of
learning, the implications for you as a future teacher.
Addition is the process by which two or more things are added together to create something
else. Within a mathematics lesson teaching addition to students can be developed through a
number of modes and manipulatives in order to assist students in the development of their
number sense (Linder, S.M, Powers-Costello, B., & Stegelin,D.A, 2011).
The use of manipulatives within addition teaching sees the use of objects, such as counters,
dice or coins to represent numbers for addition in hands-n visual activities in the initial stages
of teaching. Once a general understanding of numbers and addition are developed, students
can then begin to record results using numbers and figures, for example;
