About this Unit
This unit considers beginning teachers' own mathematics skills and knowledge and how they can use them to support their own numeracies. Primary school teachers need to feel confident and competent in their own mathematics as well as in mathematics pedagogy. Students will use a variety of investigative techniques to increase their experience of patterns and relationships in mathematics. The inherent structure of mathematics will be approached through the examination of various mathematical systems and their relationship to the current Mathematics syllabus. Mathematics is specifically taught within this unit to ensure all beginning teachers meet the NSW Institute of Teachers' accreditation requirements.
