The subject examines current national and state curriculum frameworks and policies
in mathematics education and contemporary approaches to teaching primary aged children
in 21st-century classrooms. The subject develops preservice teachers with the necessary
knowledge and competencies to effectively and equitably teach mathematics and embed
positive dispositions towards numeracy to primary aged children from diverse backgrounds.
Upon completion of this subject, preservice teachers will develop mathematical and
pedagogical content knowledge and an appreciation of ICT tools to facilitate and showcase
learning. Preservice teachers will develop and demonstrate an understanding of a range
of mathematical pedagogies and assessment practices that are informed by research
and support contemporary approaches to primary aged children's learning, especially
the use of evidence gathered from students to inform pedagogical decision making through
differentiated instruction. This subject includes 10 days of professional experience.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate an awareness of the content and characteristics of developmentally appropriate
and socially just mathematics curricula for primary children;
- construct, articulate and apply a personal philosophy regarding the teaching and learning
of mathematics for primary aged children;
- explore ways of creating a learning environment for effective learning and teaching
of mathematics for primary children and embed positive dispositions towards numeracy
for primary aged children demonstrating the application of Australian Curriculum general
capabilities: numeracy across the curriculum;
- evaluate a range of mathematical pedagogies, materials and media as they relate to
primary aged children's learning as stipulated in relevant state and national frameworks
and policies;
- demonstrate an understanding of the learning processes used by primary aged children
of different socio-cultural backgrounds in learning mathematics.
