DESCRIPTION

The course is designed for prospective and practicing secondary school teachers who wish to explore

the learning and teaching process as it applies to secondary school mathematics.

The objective of the course is to provide the participants with appropriate learning experiences so that

they feel confident designing secondary school mathematics instructions within a consistent framework

using appropriate instructional materials and methods.

Participants will explore theoretical and practical aspects of mathematics teaching, their own learning,

and their role as teachers. Different forms of mathematics learning and different instructional strategies

will be experienced and explored in class, and theoretical and practical aspects of curriculum

implementation, instructional materials (calculator, manipulatives, internet, etc.) and assessment and

evaluation in mathematics teaching and learning will be investigated.

REQUIREMENTS

Students are expected to attend all classes, participate in class work, do the required reading, and

complete assignments. More specific requirements will be given out on the first day of classes.
