<p>This is the second in a series of two units to help out-of-field and non-specialist mathematics teachers develop knowledge and skills to teach mathematics in years 5-10. In this unit, students will expand their understanding of mathematical thinking and use it to refine mathematics teaching practices. Students will continue to build their mathematical knowledge for teaching and reflect on their beliefs of mathematics and mathematics teaching and learning in practice. Drawing on research-informed practices, students will design a unit of work to develop a holistic learning experience for school students. The content will focus on measurement and geometry, probability and statistics, and mathematical proficiencies (working mathematically).</p>
