In this third unit of study in Mathematics Eduation, students will explore children's development of multiplicative thinking and proportional reasoning involving fractions, representations of fractions, and connections with decimals and percentages. Students will develop a diagnostic interview to assess upper-primary children's understandings of fractions, then write a sequence of engaging and challenging learning experiences. Students also explore the development of children's algebraic thinking (beyond Stage 1), probabilistic thinking and statistical reasoning. They integrate statistical learning with other disciplines, using first-hand data obtained in a real-life context.
