Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, substance and structure of the content and teaching strategies of the teaching of the mathematics in Data, Chance, Algebra and Number, necessary for interpreting student assessment data and evaluating student learning for the purposes of keeping accurate and reliable records of student achievement and modifying teaching practices (GTSD 2.1.1, 3.1.1, 3.5.1, 3.6.1, 5.1.1, 5.4.1, 5.5.1);
2. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of strategies for differentiating teaching to meet specific learning needs across the full range of abilities, taking into account the impact of culture and linguistic backgrounds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners, and for planning and preparing outcomes-based mathematics programs for years K–12 (GTSD 1.4.1, 1.5.1, 1.6.1);
3. know and understand numeracy teaching strategies and their application in teaching mathematics to provide children with opportunities to build on their existing mathematical understandings and numeracy, including strategies that address priority areas (GTSD 2.4.1, 2.5.1);
4. demonstrate knowledge of a range of resources including ICT to engage students in their learning (GTSD 2.6.1, 3.4.1); and
