Reflect on mathematics education, the Early Years Learning Framework, and the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. Discuss the importance of mathematics teaching and learning, and positive dispositions towards mathematics. Math provides children with an effective means of communication. They learn to use symbols, graphs, and spoken and written language to discuss and describe their ideas. Math promotes interest, encourages imagination, and provides children with the skills they would need in life after school (mathematics in the Primary Curriculum, n.d.).
