Referencing Styles : APA The purpose of this folio assessment is to produce a collection of information, resources and reflections. Creating the folio will help you develop your skills in developing opportunities for numeracy and mathematics related experiences in play and everyday experiences. Assessment details By gathering information into a folio, you are demonstrating an ability to identify, evaluate and transmit ideas about effective engaging and encouraging mathematical experiences for children. This assessment requires you to track your reasons for including specific evidence through adding a reflective dialogue. Your folio should not just be a collection of resources and if academic underpinning is not evident you will not pass this assessment. ● You will submit ten items (containing your evidence as detailed in the Theme table below). ● Your folio is to be compiled using Evernote. ● Each item should be clearly labelled with: o Theme/title: the name and description o Evidence: evidence of the resource such as a URL (if from an external source), filename or screen shot and a brief description of the resource (approx. 50 words) o Rationale: a brief description of how the resource enhances children’s mathematical and numeracy thinking and skills, discussing benefits and limitations (approx. 100 words) o Reflection: your reflection on an appropriate teaching strategy for the use of the resource, connections to practical experiences or discussion board communications (approx. 100 words). ● Ensure that you make links to academic literature and curricula documentation to support your statements. Note: the word limit of 2500 (+/-10%) applies to your written information in the folio. It does not include any further resources that you include with your submission
