Course description

This unit is designed to further develop and deepen pre-service teachers' pedagogical and curriculum knowledge for teaching primary school mathematics. In particular, this unit will focus on the underlying principles and concepts that enable teachers to critically evaluate teaching strategies in planning, implementing, monitoring and assessing learning experiences for mathematics in the areas of number, algebra, statistics and probability. Building on foundational knowledge of numeracy and pedagogies in mathematics, students will extend and deepen their knowledge of mathematics curriculum and the application of authentic and open-ended numeracy investigations that connect mathematics across the curriculum and in the wider community. There will also be a focus on preservice teachers setting learning goals that provide achievable challenges for students of varying abilities and characteristics. Promoting cognitive skills to analyse, consolidate and synthesise, pre-service teachers will employ a range of different learning and teaching strategies to create a differentiated unit plan which, meet the specific learning needs of students across a range of abilities.
