This document provides guidance for students on completing TMA02, which involves summarizing two learning experiences relating to mathematics and language/literacy. It outlines the sections and word counts required. It emphasizes planning activities based on children's interests and previous learning, and using evidence and theory to analyze learning. Students are advised to read materials fully and take notes on previous feedback before writing to avoid risks. The conclusion should summarize what was learned from writing the TMA to demonstrate impact on practice.

- 4. TMA 021 Introduction (100 words) Briefly describe the two experiences/activities you have chosen, and relate these to the curriculum documents or frameworks that guide practice in your setting Section1: very short, say what they are and link to Curriculum documents, most use EYFS. General points: feel free to refer back to previous Study Topics covered.Try to write clearly with good paragraph structure see http://www.open.ac.uk/skillsforstudy/assignments.phpLes Hereward 2010
- 5. Sections 2 and 42 Mathematical learning (250 words) Describe the mathematical learning experience/activity, your planning, and how the activity relates to and builds on the child(ren)’s interests and previous learning. 4 Communication, language and literacy learning (250 words) Describe the language learning experience/activity, your planning, and how the activity relates to and builds on the child(ren)’s interests and previous learning. You might want to link to observing, assessing and planning here. Study Topic 11 explores this area, DVD Block 4 is also useful: Reader 1 CH. 22. What I look for is a clear rationale (reasons) for the activity. Even if child initiated you are focussing on, or adapting, the activity to meet and develop the learning journey.
- 6. Are you enhancing creativity?…if so highlight this: refer to Reader 1 Ch 13 and Reader 2 CH 13…you do not have to but if you do then include it and reference.Les Hereward 2010
- 7. TMA 02 continued5 Reflection on learning (400 words) Analyze the learning and any assessment information that you collected. You may like to use the following questions to guide your response: What did you do? What did the child(ren) learn? How do you know what they learnt? What evidence do you have to support your views? How will you extend certain aspects of their learning? What did you learn about your role? How was creativity facilitated? What might you do differently next time? Sections 3/5Do not repeat your description in 2/4.
- 8. Focus on your role and the impact on learning.
- 9. How can you show learning? What is evidence here? Evidence is linking curriculum, theory (course materials) and your practice and what happened.
- 10. How do you know they are learning and how do you convince your reader?
- 11. What did you learn…evidence about how the course is changing/developing your practice
- 12. questions that the activity raises.

- 16. Group discussionHow do children learn to speak, write and read?Is it the same for all children?How do we address this in our settings? Share specific practice…e.g. one idea that works really wellHow can we relate this to course resources?Les Hereward 2010
- 17. MathematicsRemember that maths is much broader than counting: Born Mathematical illustrates this well: Pound 2010 p. 151-157Maths is about disposition: see Study Topic 15. Go back to Study Topic 3 and find stuff inspired by Katz about dispositions See also Chapter 6 Book 2.Look carefully at Activity 5 in Study Topic 15.Think carefully about the role of parents.Les Hereward 2010
