Content
The unit simultaneously examines senior secondary years mathematics education as outlined in the senior secondary curriculum in Victoria and teaching approaches that optimise student learning of that content through inquiry.
Attention is paid to developing teacher ability to sequence mathematical topics to increase student opportunities to think autonomously; to strengthen the connections they make between areas of mathematical content, and the contexts to which this mathematics applies.
Assessment procedures are examined for the purpose of identifying how to increase student learning by progressive monitoring, and how to best assist students to meet assessment requirements. Design of assessment tasks is considered in the light of ways to monitor ongoing learning and how to assess in the second last year of schooling in ways that prepare students for assessment in their last year of secondary school.
