This unit is designed to equip student teachers with the necessary skills to become mathematics specialists in their schools, particularly in upper primary. As well as building an understanding of the primary to secondary education transition, students will build competence in the fundamental concepts that need to be established by primary children before they may successfully embark on learning pronumeric algebra, and ways to develop algebraic understanding, in their early secondary years.
(Students must pass 2 units from MAE2240, MAE3260 OR Students must pass 2 units from ECM2260, ECM3260 OR Students must pass 2 units from MAE2110, MAE3110)
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
