This unit extends PSTs understanding of advanced pedagogies that are used to develop mathematical skills and cater for the diverse range of learners in any primary classroom. Thinking routines will be explored with a focus on using thinking routines as a regular feature of mathematics classes to strengthen links between mathematical concepts. Rich assessment tasks will be developed using real world contexts that engage students. These tasks will then be evaluated to understand the richness of data that is obtained from such tasks. Differentiation will be another focus of the course examining different ways that work can be differentiated in line with current theoretical research on differentiation. This unit will explore pedagogies such as point of need teaching, inquiry and grouping within the classroom through data use. Writing accurate reports based on data and coding using both spreadsheets and commercially available software will also be explored.
