CMIT+Compuer+Maths+Resources

**CMIT Computer Resources** These can be used to show the whole class the procedure of the games before they play them in groups. It gives a large, common visual reference to which children can voice and share their strategies and teachers can hear and see their logic. Thank you to the contributors and designers (Kieran Egan, Zdena Pethers, Mary Brooksbank PS, Katherin Cartwright, Robert Townson PS, Eagle vale HS, Claymore PS). Please feel free to share, trial, refine and give feedback on these resources using the Discussion Tab above or email kieran.egan@det.nsw.edu.au. We are building the resource to improve student outcomes and assist teachers in building a digital resource to enhance numeracy in schools.

 * DENS Stage 1 Activities Converted to Smartnotebook:**

(Dice Roll: Make as many number sentences for each roll of two then 3 dice etc. Leads to probability deep knowledge if required.) Record and dicuss findings. Make as many arrays and number sentences as possible for any given number using the using the infinitely cloned icons. Record and dicuss findings. (Student Reception of the above tasks with 14 cubes) (Below: Student Reception of the above tasks with 18 cubes) Investigates the relationship between and perimeter and area (3.2) Record and dicuss findings.
