2017

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

The work in this subject is designed to meet the real mathematical needs of each student. Each week students are encouraged to develop previous mathematical understanding through targeted opportunities to deepen mathematical thinking. This subject is specifically designed to engage each learner in substantive communication around mathematical concepts and procedures, to develop their mathematical understandings. Students have opportunities to demonstrate mastery of their mathematical knowledge and skills. Active involvement in this subject supports the skill development in Numeracy for completion of a final numeracy test hurdle task.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

01. Document evidence of conceptual understanding of mathematics.

Activities:
diagnostic test
Related graduate capabilities and elements:
Personal and Professional Skills(Autonomy and independence)

02. Demonstrate mathematical skills through modelling, problem solving, and performance.

Activities:
Students will explore and unpack multiplication and subtraction problems. They will also recognise the two ideas of division, partition and quotation and will articulate different meanings and representations of fractions.
Related graduate capabilities and elements:
Literacies and Communication Skills(Quantitative Literacy)

03. Communicated effective mathematical thinking processes.

Activities:
Students will engage in activities that require them to justify inverse relationships between the number of equal parts and size of each part as well as to interpret, select and apply different problem-solving approaches / methods according to the context of the problem.
