Presentation script: Part 1 slide 1 The hexagon is a form of geometry formed by nature. The shape of a regular hexagon, which has six equal sides, is often seen in the environment. A bee hive, snowflake and water bubbles are an example of hexagonal structure in nature. Another form of mathematical shape in nature is fractal. A fractal is an endlessly repeating pattern that regardless of how closely or broadly you zoom in or out, it maintains similarity and resemblance to the overall image. Fractals can be found and observed in a wide variety of natural phenomena, including trees, tree branches, leaves, and coastlines. These are mathematics in nature that can be observed in the physical environment. Educators and Teachers can use and include nature in their curriculum and play based learning to develop the child mathematical skills by using different example mathematics concepts that around us. Part 1 Slide 2 Surgeons need to analyse 2D images from CT scans to create a 3D mental model of the patient's body. With these 2D photographs, it is now possible to automatically visualize inside a patient's body using mathematical techniques to produce stunningly sharp images. Automated mathematical algorithms are developed to increase the safety and efficiency of surgery. Just as 2D images are made up of pixels, CT scan images are made up of 3D "voxels". Voxels with a high value, such as those with a value of 300, typically indicate dense volumes such as bone. Part 1 Slide 3 Mathematics is in daily life and they are many examples that includes, managing money and bills, measurement of ingredients when cooking, planning travel or a trip that require time, money and distance, buying, shopping and grocery that require budgeting. Counting ratios in early childhood and administering medicine to children. Keeping count of children and having sufficient educators at the service is important and critical to maintain safety of the children and adhering to the policies and regulations. These two things all early childhood educators that work with children do on the daily. The math concept of ratios involves counting subtracting and

multiplication. For example, in the NSW the ratio for babies is 1 educator per 4 children, if there were 12 babies they will be needed three educators. Administrating medicine to children is another maths concept that educators might have to do on the daily. As children that come to day-care may have specific medications requirements or may get ill at the service and require medication. Such when administering Panadol to a child under 12 months the educator must read the packaging and instructions on how much of milli metres of the liquid medicine needs to be administrated using a syringe. Part 2 Slide 4 Play-Based learning is when educators and teacher create an environment, provide material and opportunities for children to discover, explore, engage and experiment in open ended play. Play can be described as an enjoyable and pleasurable activity that can be challenging at times but enjoyment is the main aspect of play. The benefits of play-based learning are: Language and literacy: Play-Based activities helps and allows children in developing their vocabulary and enhancing their language ability. It helps them make connections between written and spoken language, it will also allow them to make connection with recognising and enhancing their numeracy skills. Cognitive development: Through cognitive skill experiences, they can develop problem-solving skills, critical skills, and creativity as they explore and play. When involving in building with block with different shapes and sizes they are developing mathematical skills. They are using maths concepts. Physical and outdoor play: While playing outdoors children engage and explore in sandpit play using different resources like containers, buckets, shovels this may not be formal maths lesson but allows children to be involved in maths and numeracy lesson. Part 2 Slide 5 and 6 Read from the slide. Part 2 slide 7 Read from the slide

Part 2 slide 8 Kamii and DeVries (1993) theory, emphasizes the importance of hands-on activities for improving mathematical understanding. The process emphasis engages and encourages children to be active in their own learning. Encouraging children to work together, discuss the shapes, and help each other during activity promotes social interaction and collaboration. Which Vygotsky’s theory emphasizes the importance of social interaction in learning. This collaborative inquiry corresponds to Vygotsky's concept of the "zone of proximal development," in which learners benefit from interacts with peers.
