This unit, for graduate teachers who wish to re-train in the teaching of lower secondary mathematics, will position Year 7 to Year 10 secondary mathematics curricula against some essential personal mathematics content knowledge necessary for good teaching of practical mathematics in the areas of statistics and probability. It thus teaches some necessary mathematics content skills, and also provides a refresher and a consolidation of previously held skills. In this unit, the Australian Curriculum strands of Statistics and Probability will be the focus. In order to best prepare pre-service teachers for teaching lower secondary mathematics up to an including Year 10, pedagogical strategies for teaching data and chance concepts will also be examined.
Lecture/workshops are available on the Blackboard site and in a downloadable format.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECU Blackboard as well as additional ECU learning technologies.
Students will participate in workshops, discussions, co-operative group work, professional reading, independent study, and use of multi-media technology.
