This bridging course develops foundational and critical understanding of mathematics, including numeration, space and time, geometry, numeracy, statistical literacy, problem solving, reasoning, and mathematical communication. It also examines evidence-based practices for teaching mathematics and numeracy.

Syllabus

  • Understand the nature and role of mathematics in describing and modelling patterns and relationships that can be generalised, and as a means of interpreting the world
  • Develop broad and critical knowledge and understanding of the mathematics discipline
  • Explore the nature and role of mathematics as a form of communication and thinking
  • Understand the function of mathematics as a language to meet social, aesthetic and cultural needs
  • Understand mathematical concepts and processes: such as Hindu-Arabic numeration system, quantification of space and time, geometries, and the differentiation between numeracy and mathematics
  • Work with data (statistical literacy) including planning, gathering, organizing, applying data to solve problems, and communicating results through the selection of appropriate representations
  • Develop competency in working mathematically including problem solving, reasoning, understanding and fluency in mathematics and numeracy
  • Explore current evidence-based research of effective teaching practice in Mathematics/ numeracy.
