Description

This unit examines the cycle of assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation and reflection in the process of planning mathematics learning. Pre-service Teachers will analyse, reflect upon and synthesise their knowledge about mathematics teaching and learning in order to inform planning for classroom practice. This unit is available to students enrolled in both the on-campus and online modes of delivery.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must have completed LAN6015 and MPE6105 to enrol in this unit.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Set mathematical learning goals that provide achievable challenges for students of varying abilities and characteristics.
  2. Plan lesson sequences using knowledge of student learning and mathematical content.
  3. Plan for the use of a range of teaching strategies in mathematics.
  4. Demonstrate knowledge of a range of resources, including ICT, that engage students in mathematical learning.
  5. Demonstrate broad knowledge of strategies that can be used to evaluate mathematics teaching programs to improve student learning.
  6. Describe a broad range of strategies for involving parents/carers in the educative process.
  7. Demonstrate understanding of assessment strategies, including informal and formal, diagnostic, formative and summative approaches to assess mathematical learning.

Unit Content

  1. Function and creation of mathematical learning goals.
  2. Principles of planning mathematical lesson sequences.
  3. Established theories that inform the selection of a range of teaching strategies in mathematics.
  4. Use of a variety of mathematics resources.
  5. Principles of evaluating mathematics teaching programs.
  6. Interpretation and transmission of knowledge, skills and ideas of mathematics pedagogy to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  7. Appropriate assessment techniques in mathematics.
