General Information

Overview

In this unit, you will extend your professional knowledge about teaching and learning in numeracy and Mathematics to develop deep understanding of the structure, sequencing and links between critical concepts and skills in content across the year levels in the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. You will examine research to identify issues or challenges to the development of mathematical understanding in key stages of the learning progression as a guide for planning lesson sequences and developing and interpreting assessment for diagnostic purposes. You will use data from your research to design and justify differentiated teaching and learning activities for specific sub-strands of the curriculum that cater for students at a range of ability levels and overcome identified barriers to the development of mathematical proficiency and improve the transfer of mathematical reasoning, logic and analysis to problem-solving situations. Your personal numeracy competence will be further enhanced in this unit as you construct marking guides for diagnostic assessment using appropriate and accurate mathematical procedures and communication.
