<p>This unit is the first in a sequence of two that focuses on curriculum and pedagogy in the Mathematics specialist teaching area for undergraduate Pre-Service Teachers. This unit prepares Pre-service Teachers to teach in secondary schools with the major emphasis being on Years 7 to 10. It includes the nature and aims of mathematics education and will focus on contemporary teaching strategies used in schools. A constructivist perspective on learning will be encouraged and issues of gender, culture, and literacy in mathematics considered.</p>
