This free course, Working mathematically, is aimed at teachers who wish to review how they go about the practice of teaching mathematics, those who are considering becoming mathematics teachers, or those who are studying mathematics courses and would like to understand more about the teaching and learning process.
Course learning outcomes
After studying this course, you should be able to:
understand some current issues in mathematics education, such as the relationship of mathematics content to mathematics processes
understand the use of pedagogical frameworks used in teaching mathematics such as do–talk–record
approach mathematical problems and activities in a flexible way
recognise a personal way of working on mathematics activities.
Useful for both starting but also more experienced teachres. In my opinion an interesting extension would be to add more examples of enriching maths activities (in stead of only the Mobius band), at a higher level, for example applied calculus and how to incorporate them within a demanding, exam focussed syllabus.
