This course will provide teachers opportunities to develop their understanding of mathematics pedagogy by engaging in practice-based tasks and reflecting on their practice through participation in mathematics teacher communities. The course facilitates teachers’ use of technology-enabled student modules in classroom instruction. Teachers will also explore mathematics ideas and concepts.
- Develop an understanding of the core ideas of mathematics and its processes as well as interconnections within and across mathematical domains.
- Understand the value of engaging with student thinking and the role of assessment in informing teaching.
- Understand and meaningfully use, evaluate and curate technology (ICT)-based teaching learning resources for mathematics teaching.
- Understand the process of becoming a reflective practitioner, the role technology plays as a teaching and learning resource.
Teachers will need to have access to computing devices with connectivity for the entire duration of the programme.
(1) A smart phone with internet to access the course and participate in online communities of practice.
(2) A computer with internet access to complete and upload assignments.
