Mathematics is basically a study of strategies and other teaching methods a teacher trainee could use in primary schools. This unit will help student teachers to acquire basic skills in facilitating EQUITV lessons as a receiving teacher (RT), and collaborating EQUITY lessons with the model Teacher (MT). The teaching strategies in this unit will be student-centred and activity-based. This unit also aims to build upon and respect students’ different learning experiences, and provide a range of purposeful and challenging activities. It is envisaged that a supportive learning environment will be established, encouraging students to share ideas and to learn from one another. While exploring the teaching and learning of mathematics, student teachers will engage in a range of mathematical activities which will be selected from the different mathematics content areas to further develop their own mathematical thinking and to prepare them to use these activities in their school experiences.
