EBMA100 Mathematics Education 1
10 cp
This unit will provide students with an introduction to primary mathematics education by discussing and investigating current directions in mathematics education. The unit will focus on theories of learning mathematics, the structure and content of the mathematics curriculum, and effective teaching and assessment approaches.
A child-centred approach to learning and teaching mathematics will be emphasised and students will focus on how assessments can assist teachers to understand children's current mathematical thinking and to plan effective learning experiences. Students will examine the role of manipulatives, technology, and language development in supporting children's understanding of mathematical concepts and processes.
