10 cp

This unit is designed to provide student teachers with opportunities to consider issues and strategies in planning, implementing and monitoring learning experiences for pupils in primary mathematics, with an underpinning concern for justice and the dignity of all. Students will explore the structure and content of the mathematics curriculum with reference to relevant state or territory documents. Opportunities will be provided for students to experience and critically examine a range of different learning activities and teaching approaches. The teaching of rational number, algebra, and chance and data will form the content basis of this unit. Students will examine a range of formal and informal assessment strategies with an emphasis on using these tools to inform reporting on student achievement. Underpinning students explorations in the unit will be theories of childrens mathematical learning such as constructivism, and socio-cognitive approaches to learning. Students will investigate the findings of reported research into mathematics education issues considered within this unit, and will discuss implications for the classroom.
