The subject examines current national and state curriculum frameworks and policies
and develops preservice teachers with the necessary knowledge and competencies to
effectively and equitably teach mathematics and numeracy to young children from diverse
backgrounds [from birth to 8 years]. Upon completion of this subject, preservice teachers
will develop mathematical and pedagogical content knowledge, an appreciation of ICT
tools to facilitate and showcase learning and competencies to effectively embed positive
dispositions towards numeracy to young children in 21st-century classrooms. Preservice
teachers will develop and demonstrate an understanding of a range of pedagogies and
assessment practices that are informed by research and support contemporary approaches
to young children's learning, especially the use of differentiated instruction. This
subject includes 25 days of Professional Experience.
Learning Outcomes
- evaluate various teaching methods, materials and media as they relate to young children's
learning as stipulated in relevant state and national frameworks and policies;
- demonstrate an awareness of the content and characteristics of developmentally appropriate
