Mathematics Education: Primary 1

This subject provides an introduction to teaching mathematics in Victorian primary schools. Teacher Candidates will develop mathematical content knowledge and mathematical pedagogical content knowledge for the effective teaching and learning of Number and Algebra using the four proficiency strands from the Australian/Victorian Curricula. Teacher Candidates will analyse the development of key concepts in primary mathematics and identify critical progression points for children’s learning. They will consider children’s conceptual development of Number constructs. Teacher Candidates will be introduced to assessment tools for children’s understanding to improve school students’ learning in the content strand Number and Algebra.
