Opportunities will be provided to enable students to become familiar with materials and equipment used to enhance children's mathematical understanding.  The integration of mathematics across the curriculum will be explored with a particular reference to integration with the skills of science.  Strategies for assessing and supporting children's learning will be discussed.
