So you may have noticed I have been a little absent from posting lately. 🤔

The reason is because I have been working on a SUPER exciting project for teachers and leaders of Numeracy.

Today I unveil...drumroll.... "Dr Ange's Numeracy Teachers Academy" (NTA).

Cue confetti and balloons!🎉

The NTA is an online annual subscription that will allow me to work closely with teachers across Australia (and beyond) to develop their knowledge and craft in teaching Numeracy.

So if you want me to be your Numeracy mentor in 2021 and take your teaching and leading to the next level check, out the link in my bio and... tag any of your teacher friends!🙌🙌

Be quick, enrolments are closing on the 15th of December.

This week’s Monday Maths Moment is “making Porridge”.
Every morning we have porridge for breakfast.
We follow the same procedure day in day out.
So much so that Miss 4 decided she would like to help!
There is nothing more “helpful” than a four year old near the hotplates😂🤦🏻‍♀️
But as always, I knew this was an opportunity to discuss some important maths concepts.

Where’s the maths?
✅sequencing- there was a lot of “next”, “after” and “then” vocab being used. These are really important temporal words that lay important foundations for later counting at school when we ask “what number is after...”
✅capacity- we talked about pouring the oats in the saucepan and then the milk. This all involved informal discussions about capacity (in simple terms the amount of liquid a container can hold)
✅coding- in coding you develop algorithms which are essentially breaking down procedures into steps. By seeing us make porridge over and over Miss 4 is aware that if you follow a set procedure the outcome will always be the same (yummy porridge 🥣!)

This week I encourage you to think about the things you do in the same way over and over again with your child.

Maybe its your night time routine (bath, book, bed) or making a toasted cheese sandwich 🥪 .

Whatever it is get you child involved and listen for the math discussions that emerge!!

I have this theory that people fall into two categories. They either hated maths at school or they felt "it was ok". Very rarely do I meet someone that says "I loved maths at school".

Now don't get me wrong... I often meet people who say they "love maths"... and I am one of those people...

but I can't in all honesty say I "loved maths at school".

For me maths at school was "ok"...

So hit me up... how do you feel about maths at school?
