EDMA423 Mathematics Teaching and Learning 1

10 cp

This unit is designed to provide participants with strategies for planning, implementing and monitoring learning experiences for students studying mathematics in schools. The unit will build on documents relating to mathematical curricula. There is a focus on primary and junior secondary mathematics with special attention given to understanding in mathematics and the critical role of language in developing this understanding. The development of mathematical understanding will be explored through the use of concrete materials (for example, in early algebraic understanding), problem solving, leaning technologies, and strategies for fostering mathematical thinking in students. The unit proceeds to develop strategies for assessing learning experiences for students studying mathematics. Special attention will be given to catering for individual differences.
