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 Space and Measurement strand and the Probability and Statistics strand. You will develop a critical understanding of effective teaching practices so you are able to design learning sequences, informed by current research, to maximise learning for all children. You will use formative assessment strategies so you can plan appropriate learning experiences and construct summative assessments, with marking guides and rubrics, for assessing children’s learning. You will also investigate a topic of personal interest using publicly available databases and experience first-hand how mathematics can be taught using inquiry-based approaches to encourage positive dispositions, curiosity and engagement.
