Mathematics in the Primary Classroom

What it covers

This unit prepares pre-service teachers to plan, teach and assess mathematics in the primary classroom. Mathematical concepts related to relevant National and/or State or Territory curriculum documentation will be explored, along with practical pedagogical approaches that support and extend mathematical learning. Pre-service teachers will also be introduced to the key theoretical ideas underpinning mathematics education. In addition, this unit offers a ‘Primary Specialisation’ stream, enabling students to develop additional depth of understanding in terms of expert content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and highly effective classroom teaching.
