01. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, substance and structure of the content and teaching strategies of Mathematics, and an in-depth understanding of how students learn in Mathematics.

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 to state and national curricula.

03. Describe, design, and evaluate a unit of work involving a variety of teaching strategies which cater for individual differences in student learning across a range of abilities, and integrate literacy and numeracy capabilities and cross curriculum priorities of state and national curricula in Mathematics at senior secondary school level
