MATHEMATICAL THINKING: TEACHING COUNTING AND MEASURING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD 2Mathematical Thinking: Teaching Counting and Measuring in Early ChildhoodThe two resources that will be used to educate on the learning areas are picture books (non-ICT resource) and iPads (ICT resource). They will be utilized in the assessment of the two bishop categories of measuring and counting. The study will focus entire on the academic needs of children within the age group of 0-5 years. Analysis will be used to assess the effectiveness of each of these resources in the fulfillment of the learning objective associated with individual bishop categories.Mathematical Thinking: MeasuringICT ResourcesResource Explanation: ‘Measuring Kindergarten’URL: Measuring KindergartenMeasuring Kindergarten is an app use to help kids learn about measuring in terms of weight, length, and width. This app allows the child to develop mathematical thinking in terms of weight,length, and width by defining objects as being long, short, heavy, light, narrow, and wide. Measuring Kindergarten was developed by the BugBrained Limited Liability Company with the intention of making an effective teaching resource that is easy to use, engaging, and captivating to children.Age group: 3-5 years of ageBishop category: Measuring Analysis

MATHEMATICAL THINKING: TEACHING COUNTING AND MEASURING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD 3Measuring Kindergarten play a very crucial role in the management of day to day activities such as weighing, and assessing length. Therefore it is important to instill these skills in children while they are still young. Measuring as an element of mathematical thinking implies that a childis able to evaluate activities, events, and things with regards to measurement parameters. These parameters include length, quantity, speed, and time.Curriculum Australian schools are nowadays procuring an introducing iPads in classrooms with the intensionof meeting the learning needs of the 21st Century pre-school learner. The integration of technology into the classroom setting has been made are requirement by the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority[ CITATION Thé14 \l 1033 ]. Teaching StrategyMathematical thinking is considered an in-depth look into different things by categorizing them into logical, structural, and numerical facets that can be analyzed[ CITATION Kay14 \l 1033 ]. The early years of any child are very critical in terms of both mental and physical developments.[ CITATION ERO16 \l 1033 ]. The availability of conducive social amenities will also influence how well a child develops counting and measuring mathematical skills. Therefore, numerous early childhood programs are dedicated towards the nurturing of mathematical skills in children aged between 0 to 5 years. For instance, a good early childhood program will develop appropriate learning programs that will ensure that children are educated on given areas of numeracy and mathematics.

MATHEMATICAL THINKING: TEACHING COUNTING AND MEASURING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD 4URL: Time AppTell Time-Little Matchups is an app that is designed to help students learn how to effectively learn how to tell the time. The app employs a very simple design that is child-friendly and highlyeffective. The aim of the app developer Innovative Investments Limited was to develop a game that allows children to effectively learn about time telling and the basic units of times e.g. seconds, minutes and hours[ CITATION Cat15 \l 1033 ]. Age group: 3-5Bishop category: Measuring AnalysisA child will demonstrate mathematical thinkingwhen she/he is able to understand that there is aperiod of time that will need to elapse between lunch and supper. Therefore, it is the role of the educator/teacher to provide the child with activities and resources that will promote mathematical thinking in children aged between 0 to 5 years[ CITATION Rai14 \l 1033 ].CurriculumThe use of ICTs in the fulfillment of curriculum requirement is intended to better the understanding and retention of mathematics and numeracy concepts[ CITATION ACA18 \l 1033
