What it covers
In this unit, you will develop student-centred inclusive approaches for teaching mathematics in Foundation to Year 6, with a particular focus on the Number and Algebra strand. You will explore key theoretical perspectives to better understand children’s learning of number and algebra. You will build your capacity to plan and sequence lessons that respond to children's mathematical thinking and current understandings, which encourage positive dispositions, curiosity and engagement. You will also investigate and critique a range of mathematics teaching resources, learn how to identify and address common misconceptions children have with numbers, and reflect on your own engagement with mathematics tasks.
