MYS4106 Teaching Middle Years Mathematics
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Credit Points: 12
 
Description:

The development of flexible and inclusive teaching strategies to encourage young adolescents to explore the world of mathematics requires a firm grasp of the discipline-specific content knowledge and pedagogy. This unit will help students consolidate their mathematical understanding, confidence and language. It will equip students with theoretical tools needed by mathematics teachers to interpret the curriculum and build a dynamic learning environment for the middle years of schooling. And it will provide students with a scaffold for integrating a wide range of discipline-centred pedagogical strategies and constructing inquiry-based mathematical learning tasks for young adolescents. During the unit, the WA curriculum framework and student outcomes statements will be examined in terms of teaching mathematics in the middle years of schooling.
