Syllabus: Focuses on teaching strategies and methods to identify children at risk of not reaching their potential in the mathematics classroom. Specifically, tertiary students will interview primary aged children using a commercially available product (for example, the Booker Profiles in Mathematics), analyse the results, and plan, implement and evaluate an intervention programme of mathematics. Students will consider and evaluate other diagnostic instruments and intervention programmes. For example, the Numeracy Net and First Steps in Western Australia, Count Me In Too in New South Wales, Mathematics Recovery and Early Numeracy Research Project in Victoria. State-wide testing such as WALNA (Western Australian Literacy and Numeracy Assessment) and MSE (Monitoring Standards in Education) will be considered. Identification of factors that impinge on mathematical performance. For example, mathaphobia, typical misconceptions, gender and cultural background.
