Reflect upon and analyse ways you have been taught and learnt mathematics and discuss alternative methods for learning mathematics raised during the module.
These are some points that have been discussed in the module:
Using and doing mathematics as the vehicle for exploring the teaching and learning of mathematics
Looking at two broadly different approaches to teaching mathematics in terms of ‘open’ and ‘guided’ problems/tasks
The importance of Task Design; access and extension
Seeing mathematics as a coherent whole (Quote from Cockcroft)
Differentiated learning (Quote from HMI Mathematics from 5-16)
The emotional or affective aspect of learning
