Helen Chick| Subject Overview: | This subject deals with mathematics, especially in the areas of space and measurement in pre-school and primary schools. Students will extend their own knowledge by engaging in challenging mathematical tasks. They will examine knowledge of children's thinking and learning, analyse classroom teaching techniques and concrete and technological aids which develop different components of mathematical competence such as skills, concepts, practical ability and estimation. Current Victorian and national documents will be used. Students will design sequences of lessons related to selected learning outcomes. |
