Course Code: VU21MA21

Availability: Enrolment is closed

This facilitated online course includes some mandatory synchronous sessions with real-time group interaction set by the Instructor. Audio and video recordings may be a required element of the learning.

The Mathematics, Primary and Junior Part 2 Additional Qualification Course will engage you in a process of inquiry to explore and develop a life-long-learner mindset for teaching and, specifically, to take you from what you learned in Part 1 to the next level of expertise for instruction in mathematics. The course embeds proportional/ relative thinking and spatial reasoning in all strands.

Using the multiple lenses of big ideas, cultural diversity, and lesson study, you will examine the pedagogical content knowledge of the curriculum strands in Number Sense (proportional reasoning, fractions, decimals), Geometry and Measurement. Further, you will collaboratively create a guide to the most challenging part of mathematics instruction: the debrief. .

The summative activity for the course is to further develop the entire process of design-down planning by pre-assessing through sample conferencing and other methods the planning, delivery, post-assessment and analysis of the results of a study unit. .
