This unit introduces or consolidates best practice in the teaching and learning of lower secondary school mathematics (Years 7 to 10). The fundamentals of learning theory will be practically applied to the specific teaching of mathematics. Activities for promoting classroom participation will be introduced, and students will have opportunity to plan a variety of mathematics lessons, assessments and activities consistent with the Curriculum Framework outcome statements. The development of an appreciation of mathematics as a useful and creatively interesting area of study by regularly incorporating mathematical investigation in the classroom, and by focusing on developing mathematical literacy. Useful teaching resources and tools will be demonstrated and their classroom application explored. The mathematical content covered will include all seven clusters of the Curriculum Framework. Reference will also be made to important mathematical concepts established in the late primary years.
