EDUP4074: Mathematics Education 3
2024 unit information
This compulsory unit of study is the third and final unit in primary mathematics education. It is designed to build on the content and ideas introduced in Mathematics Education 1 and 2, with emphasis on Number and Algebra Strand in Stages 2 and 3 of the NSW Mathematics Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum. The unit will explore how children's mathematical thinking strategies develop via research-based frameworks and assessment-based planning for teaching.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. use a diagnostic interview to assess a child’s level of mathematical thinking and analyse the results in relation to a research-based framework of number development
- LO2. demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively with peers in the design of a sequence of learning experiences based on the outcomes of diagnostic assessments
- LO3. utilise appropriate ICT to further your own knowledge in mathematics education and communicate professionally with peers
- LO4. develop the ability to choose, provide and use appropriate mathematical activities that promote risk taking, foster efficient learning strategies, develop positive attitudes, promote enjoyment and provide opportunities for children to create for themselves mathematical thinking skills
- LO5. demonstrate your understanding of a variety of assessment strategies, including clinical interviewing, observation and work sample analysis, and evaluate, record and report a child’s developing mathematical need
- LO6. demonstrate the integration of theory and practice through the choice of activities and assessment methods
- LO7. build on your own personal philosophy of how children learn mathematics based on readings, reflections and practical experiences.
