Click here for the Path to the Stars workshop video. It starts with the learners in a circle clap counting and other activities for ages 4 to 7. It continues with different activities for other age groups that include linking the points of stars to multiples and cycles, finding prime numbers using the Sieve of Eratosthenes, an introduction to number cycles, equivalence classes and modulus arithmetic, playing the Scissors Paper Rock game for 7 actions and seeing the cycle patterns and, for the oldesr learners, periodic functions.
These Global Teacher Empowerment (GTEN) videos and the AIMING HIGH Inclusion and Home Learning Guides provide resources for differentiation and inclusion, with guidance and learning activities that follow a spiral learning pathway from early years to leaving school. For primary teaching we lay the foundations for later learning. We plant the seeds, and we begin to cultivate insights, visualization, knowledge and understanding of mathematics. Practical experiences underpin later abstract thinking. Secondary teachers can use some of the same activities with learners who have not mastered the basics and there are more learning activities to build knowledge, understanding and skills for lifelong learning.
