<p>This course examines contemporary issues in Mathematics education as well as the congruence between pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment. Pre-service teachers will be required to explore specific issues relating to current practice in the teaching of Mathematics in Years 7-10 and 11 and 12. They will be required to design and critically evaluate learning and assessment tasks, self-evaluate pedagogy, and conduct research into key issues related to learning Mathematics in school. A particular focus will be the differentiation of learning content for learners in Mathematics.</p>
