- Activities:
- A combination of face-to-face intensives (with equivalent tasks) and online modules. The online modules are a method-relevant blend of generic modules
02. Critically analyse, plan, synthesise and implement a range of Mathematics learning and teaching activities and sequences for senior students (Years 11 & 12). These include a variety of pedagogical approaches and resources (including safe and ethical pedagogy and use of resources including ICT where appropriate) appropriate to state and national curricula.
