This course is for Professional Development Program students who expect to

teach mathematics from K through 9th grade.

Main concerns will include a study of topics essential to any elementary

and junior secondary mathematics programme and how to communicate these

best to children with relevancy and joy.

The 1977 Curriculum guide states:

"Before any formal mathematics can be understood, there

must be a wealth of manipulative experiences through

which concepts and relations are understood at an intuitive

level. Mathematics as a discipline, as a formal structure,

must be built upon a sound foundation of concrete experience."

We shall approach the task through the 'subordination of teaching to

learning' using the powers and gifts which all participants bring to every

lesson. That guarantees much growth and the acquisition of changed attitudes

which many of us may not have previously experienced

Students will be expected to be involved in the discussions and activities,

working on an agreed project relevant to their own needs, strengths and

weaknesses and what they intend to teach in school. Sessions will be held

with elementary school children.
