This course provides pre-service teachers with an introduction to the theory, and pedagogy of teaching Mathematics in the New Zealand primary school context. The course introduces the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to successfully plan, teach and evaluate the Mathematics and statistics learning areas in the New Zealand Curriculum (2007). The course also aims to prepare students for further study in higher-level courses and will complement learning in other courses in the Bachelor of Teaching and Learning, including Professional Practice.
On the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:1. Construct effective learning sequences for primary school children which demonstrate a critical understanding of, and the ability to use, the content and philosophy of the mathematics and statistics learning area of The New Zealand Curriculum (2007)2. Research and demonstrate the development of a mathematical concept from Level 1 to Level 4 in the New Zealand Curriculum (2007)3. Critique and develop appropriate assessment methods in mathematics 4. Compare, analyse and appraise mathematical issues and initiatives in the New Zealand primary classroom setting5. Analyse and critically select resources that reflect an understanding of the influence of gender and cultural equity in mathematics teaching, learning and assessment6. Identify how to embed aspects of the cultural competencies as outlined in Tātaiako when teaching and learning mathematics7. Identify and use ICT resources and pedagogy related to mathematics teaching and learning
