About this subject
Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
- use curriculum, assessment and mathematical content knowledge to design learning sequences and lesson plans (GTSD 2.3.1);
- plan lesson sequences and activities that promote problem solving, working and communicating mathematically, using knowledge of student learning, content and effective teaching strategies (GTSD 3.2.1);
- demonstrate an understanding of informal, formative assessment approaches to assess student learning and the purpose of providing this assessment as timely and appropriate feedback to students about their learning (GTSD 5.1.1, 5.2.1, 5.5.1); and

- Topics will be available to enrolled students in the subjects Learning Management System site approximately one week prior to the commencement of the teaching period.
There is continued focus in Australian education on children’s development of core skills in mathematics throughout their school years. The foundations for strong mathematical knowledge are laid down in primary education. This subject equips you with content knowledge and skills within the curriculum strands of Measurement and Geometry, and Number. By examining developmental teaching theories and the psychology of learning mathematics, you will learn how to foster flexible, critical and creative thinking in your students. You will also explore learning sequence design and lesson planning that promotes student-centred teaching and learning, examine investigative activities and tools to promote problem-solving and mathematics communication, apply strategies for assessment task development and learn to effectively integrate contemporary ICT tools and strategies into your classroom.
