• Develop a teaching plan with an associated concept map showing connections between big ideas of number, algebra and probability. Show links within the local state and/or Australian Curriculum.
• Indicate aspects of the three areas that are linked. Show these links within each area and between the areas. (e.g., How are ideas within multiplicative thinking linked? How are these ideas linked to other aspects of number?)
• Develop these links into a concept map.
• Perform a content analysis of the AC: M or state curriculum. Indicate where the connections you have identified are found in the curriculum. Present this in table form showing the three areas.
Describe three activities (in Daily Work Pad style) that you could use with Year Five/Six children to develop the links between the three areas.
