Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

Apply knowledge of mathematics teaching content and strategies, including ICTs, to develop engaging teaching activities for the Australian Curriculum's Years 7 to 10 mathematics learning area.

Develop mathematics teaching content into coherent, well-sequenced, and engaging learning and teaching programs informed y contemporary evidence-based mathematics education pedagogies, reflection and feedback on teaching practices.

Design and implement learning and teaching programs using knowledge of mathematics curriculum, assessment and reporting requirements to respond to students with diverse needs and cultural backgrounds including Indigenous education and pedagogies.

Critically analyse and reflect on the cognate and non-cognate knowledge and understanding used to develop effective teaching strategies to support students' numeracy and mathematical achievement.
