In this course you will build on the knowledge, skills and understanding developed in EDST 6779 Mathematics 1. The focus is on Stages 2 and 3 in the NSW K-10 Mathematics syllabus. You will engage in findings from contemporary research to explore pedagogical strategies suitable for growth in student understanding of numeracy and how this understanding supports mathematical understanding across Stages 2 and 3. Formative and summative assessment strategies suitable for this age group are included, along with the assessment literacy skills needed to analyse statistical data resulting from numeracy and mathematics assessments. You will also consider how to support learners as they transition to Stage 4 in mathematics

The course is complemented by a minimum of 5 days of supervised professional experience.
