E-PLAT is the next generation of internet applications. Not a website, not a piece of software, E-PLAT is your site.
Based on the Mathematics Learning Area of the Western Australian Curriculum Framework, Levels One to Five, EPLAT – MATHEMATICS allows teachers to:
- quickly develop a teaching programme, based on the Mathematics CLUSTERS, OUTCOMES, ASPECTS and ORGANISERS
- quickly develop a teaching activity, based on the work of Dr Paul Swan and Geoff White, using the DTES (Discover, Talk, Explain, Symbols) proforma
- share this teaching activity with other teachers
- search for, and modify, an activity from the growing EPLAT – MATHEMATICS library
- quickly record what has been taught/covered
For their students, E-PLAT – MATHEMATICS allows teachers to:
- easily track student learning
- easily record student content coverage
- add assessment results from a variety of sources (NAPLAN, WOMBAT, etc)
As a teacher you can upload and share teacher planning for student learning in Mathematics/Numeracy using a standard proforma. You can search for activities/lessons which have previously been submitted by school staff and consultants who work with schools.
As a teacher you will:
- have easy access to previous planning
- develop a planning history and record
- have easy access to lesson programmes or plans or activities
- keep track of individual student achievement, K to 10
EPLAT – MATHEMATICS is also a collaborative website whereby teachers are able to communicate via discussion boards and chat rooms.
