Primary Mathematics 2B: Statistics, Algebra and Number
About this subject
Upon completion of this subject, students will be able to:
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, substance and structure of the content and teaching strategies of the teaching of the mathematics in Data, Chance, Algebra and Number, necessary for interpreting student assessment data and evaluating student learning for the purposes of keeping accurate and reliable records of student achievement and modifying teaching practices (GTSD 2.1.1, 3.1.1, 3.5.1, 3.6.1, 5.1.1, 5.4.1, 5.5.1);
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of strategies for differentiating teaching to meet specific learning needs across the full range of abilities, taking into account the impact of culture and linguistic backgrounds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners, and for planning and preparing outcomes-based mathematics programs for years K–12 (GTSD 1.4.1, 1.5.1, 1.6.1);
- know and understand numeracy teaching strategies and their application in teaching mathematics to provide children with opportunities to build on their existing mathematical understandings and numeracy, including strategies that address priority areas (GTSD 2.4.1, 2.5.1);
- demonstrate knowledge of a range of resources including ICT to engage students in their learning (GTSD 2.6.1, 3.4.1); and
- demonstrate an understanding of working with data and basic statistical literacy including planning, gathering and applying data to solve problems in an effective learning and teaching sequence (GTSD 2.2.1, 2.5.1).
- Topics will be available to enrolled students in the subjects Learning Management System site approximately one week prior to the commencement of the teaching period.
The foundation for development of strong mathematical knowledge and core skills in mathematics is laid down in primary education. Current Australian education strategies focus on quality teaching, informed by the best available evidence, to help students develop their number sense from the early years of schooling. This subject equips you with essential content knowledge and skills across the curriculum strands of Data, Chance, Patterns and Algebra and later Number. This subject prepares you for primary mathematics teaching, allowing you to demonstrate your understanding of the critical importance of numeracy to learning. You will also learn and refine teaching strategies to create developmental learning sequences relevant to the curriculum strands.
