COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this major, you’ll explore areas that are intimately related to years 7-10 mathematics curriculum, using university-level mathematical tools.
You’ll learn a range of topics including linear and non-linear functions, such as polynomials, sinusoidal and exponentials; geometry involving ideas of congruence; and transformation, trigonometry, measurement of areas and volumes, and probability and basic statistics.
You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of mathematics to enable you to develop skills that are crucial for effective teaching including constructing mathematical explanations and arguments; examining definitions of common mathematical terms, interpreting terminology and notation; expanding the range of representation of mathematical ideas by drawing helpful diagrams, developing familiarity of the close relationship between algebra and numbers; studying statements of theorems and developing some skills and knowledge of proving some of them and examining typical secondary school mathematical problems, students’ errors and misconceptions.
Your future career
Upon completion of this major, you’ll be qualified as an educator for high school mathematics for Years 7-10.
