STEAM +género - Una propuesta para fortalecer la educación inicial con equidad
Esta guía, creada en colaboración entre el Ministerio de Educación de Colombia y la Fundación Siemens Stiftung, con apoyo de la OEA, busca integrar el enfoque STEAM con perspectiva de género en la práctica docente. Centrada en los sistemas educativos de Colombia y Chile, promueve la equidad de género desde la primera infancia, fomentando la participación de niñas y niños en ciencia y tecnología. A través de experiencias educativas y políticas, se pretende reducir estereotipos de género y promover una educación inclusiva y de calidad.
Mathematics lesson starters for Grade 3 learners
A set of teacher guides containing each 6 Mental Mathematics Lesson Starter units for Grade 3 learners, in alignment with the South African curriculum. A different calculation strategy is in focus in each unit. These calculation strategies are taken from the curriculum. Each unit covers a particular group of connected skills, and the aim is to move learners on from counting in ones on their fingers or with tally marks on paper.
Each unit is three weeks long; it begins and ends with a short test for the learners. Marking these tests provides information for the teacher and the learners about how much they have improved in using that particular set of skills during the three weeks. Within each unit, the focus is on three types of calculations: fluency, strategic calculating and strategic thinking.
Working through the Lesson Starters in each unit should lead to improvements in learners’ performance from the pre to post-tests. These improvements show progress in mental mathematics skills and number sense.
The guide is available in 11 official languages of South Africa.
