Course overview

This aim of this course is to build preservice teachers’ self-reflection to support their personal growth and development as a teacher of mathematics. It unpacks the domains of mathematical knowledge for teaching and the strategies that emphasise teaching for understanding. Working with the mathematics curriculum documents, pre-service teachers will plan learning experiences (including selecting and using resources).
