This course introduces students to the key concepts underlying a deep understanding of number, arrangements, number distribution and combinatorics. This course will consider the historical development of number and will examine current related pedagogical models within the field of secondary mathematics including assessment policy and structure.
| Objectives | On satisfactory completion of this course students should be able to: - understand the key concepts related to number theory, combinatorics, binomial theory and difference equations - appreciate the mathematical knowledge and beliefs that learners bring to a learning task - apply a range of strategies for teaching secondary mathematics - recognise the common misconceptions that students may have in regard to the mathematical content covered. - apply a range of strategies for assessing students learning |
