EDUP4101: Leading Mathematics Learning A
2026 unit information
The unit enables teacher education students who have an enthusiasm for and expertise in mathematics to undertake more extensive preparation and satisfy NESA-accreditation requirements for a primary teacher with a specialisation in mathematics. It is designed to strengthen teaching strategies for challenging aspects in K to 8 Number and Algebra, and Geometry and Measurement. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based approaches to engaging all students in learning. The unit aims to explore the roles of a mathematics specialist through lesson-study and peer-mentoring. Connections between theory, research and practice are exemplified through teaching rehearsals, lesson study and/or school visits.
