You are required to write a report on the teachin" rel="nofollow">ing and learnin" rel="nofollow">ing of Decimal Numeration and Operations at Year 6 level. Your report should demonstrate your understandin" rel="nofollow">ing of the approaches, materials, activities, and issues for teachin" rel="nofollow">ing and learnin" rel="nofollow">ing the topic at this level. The report should demonstrate your understandin" rel="nofollow">ing of the way in" rel="nofollow">in which mathematical ideas are developed with primary school children and show evidence of your wide readin" rel="nofollow">ing and research on the topic and demonstrate your ability to select high quality materials and activities to support the teachin" rel="nofollow">ing of the topic. It should be well structured, well written and properly referenced.
