| 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, 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 in Western Australia, Count Me In Too in New South Wales, Mathematics Recovery, Early Numeracy Research Project in Victoria, and First Steps in Western Australia. State-wide testing such as WALNA and MSE will be considered. Identifies factors that impinge on mathematical performance, for eg mathaphobia, typical misconceptions, gender, and cultural background. |
