<p>This is the first in a series of two units to help out-of-field and non-specialist mathematics teachers develop the knowledge and skills to teach mathematics in years 5-10. In this unit, students will reflect on the nature of mathematical understanding and thinking and use it to inform mathematics teaching practices. Students will reflect on their beliefs about mathematics and mathematics teaching and learning, examine mathematical knowledge for teaching, know how students learn mathematics and use curriculum to plan learning experiences for school students. The content will focus on number and algebra, and mathematical proficiencies (working mathematically).</p>

•Understanding the appropriate mathematics content.<br>
•Making links to previous mathematical knowledge.<br>
•Designing learning activities in Mathematics.<br>
•Designing learning sequences in Mathematics.<br>
•Examining real world contexts for mathematics.<br>
•Organising Mathematics content into effective learning sequences.<br>
•Development of ICT activities that support the learning of mathematics.<br>
•Content development for students in Years 5-10.<br>
•Teaching strategies for teaching mathematics.<br>
•The use of formative and summative assessment in Mathematics.<br>
•Topic planning.</p>
