Transcript
Learning outcomes
- Improve your subject knowledge for teaching mathematics appropriate to the range of secondary school students (11-18 years old)
- Engage with relevant educational research and understand how it can be applied to you
- Apply educational research findings to your own practice as a mentor and that of your mentees
- Contribute to a community of mathematics mentors
Syllabus
The course covers four pedagogically-powerful inter-connected themes:
- Fostering Algebraic Reasoning,
- Fostering Geometric Reasoning,
- Fostering Numerical Reasoning,
- Fostering Functional Reasoning.
These themes focus on promoting ‘big ideas’ in learning and teaching mathematics such as generalisation and abstraction, reasoning and proof, precision in mathematical language, conceptual structures within mathematics, and appreciating the potential for mathematics teaching and learning of digital technologies.
