Unit of study_
EDMT6628: Primary Mathematics 2
2024 unit information
This unit will draw on the content from all strands in the NSW syllabus. It will focus on the development of concepts and processes from the Measurement and Geometry strand. It will explore children's understanding of Probability and Statistics and investigate ways in which concepts from other strands of the syllabus can be taught in an integrated manner. It will also build on content and processes established in EDMT5683 by focusing on Stage 2 and 3 of the Number and Algebra strand. The working mathematically processes and effective use of digital technologies will be integrated throughout all content areas.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. demonstrate your developing understanding of measurement, space and geometry, chance and data, and number and algebra concepts and processes through their participation in a range of practically-based tutorial activities.
- LO2. demonstrate their understanding of teaching/learning and assessment strategies that are applicable to their own classroom teaching e.g. collaborative learning; subject integration, small group discussion, integration of technologies, peer assessment, problem solving and inquiry-based learning
- LO3. critically reflect on developmental learning frameworks, the supporting research findings and their applications concerning ways in which children think, learn and construct mathematical knowledge
- LO4. demonstrate a familiarity and understanding of teaching strategies for developing more sophisticated levels of mathematical thinking through the processes of Working Mathematically and the provision of mathematically rich investigations
- LO5. demonstrate a familiarity and understanding of the aims, outcomes and mathematical content of the NSW Mathematics Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum K-6, support documents, national and international curriculum documents
- LO6. Produce non-digital practical teaching resources, and assess digital teaching resources that correspond to syllabus outcomes and theoretical frameworks of mathematical development.
