Semester 1
This module introduces you to the subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and curriculum knowledge that contribute to becoming a teacher of mathematics in primary and early years settings.
The module will explore how these elements interplay and will draw on your own experiences of being a learner of mathematics.
Strong links will be made between relevant theory and current practice, encouraging students to critically evaluate these.
The module will provide an opportunity for you to develop your professional understanding of effective approaches to teaching mathematics.
Semester 2
The subject matter, pedagogical content and curriculum knowledge acquired during semester 1 and School Experience A will be built upon to develop your skills and confidence to plan and teach sequences of mathematics lessons.
Knowledge and understanding of progression and complexity in mathematical learning will be central to the module and support your ability to respond to and meet differing needs.
You will explore strategies that support connections within and between mathematical procedures and concepts in more depth.
The professional use of source material to inform and critique practice will be developed further to include more focused evaluation and support decision-making
