Description
Course Code: DDITAM_02
Honours Level Module
The curriculum for this module is organised around two strands:
- mathematical content topics
- 'big ideas' that focus on powerful themes of mathematical pedagogic content knowledge: multiple representations, awareness of multiple strategies, exploring and extending students' understanding through questioning, using mis-conceptions and errors for learning, infinity, doing and un-doing, proving.
-
These two strands are interlinked so that students can understand that there are powerful themes cutting across core mathematics topics, making mathematical connections from which new mathematical ideas are formed, and making connections between ways of thi…

These two strands are interlinked so that students can understand that there are powerful themes cutting across core mathematics topics, making mathematical connections from which new mathematical ideas are formed, and making connections between ways of thinking and communicating that characterise the practices of learning advanced mathematics.
The module is assessed by a portfolio of personal reflec-tions on the course study days, and a 4000-word essay that reviews their own learning and learning-about- teaching for a chosen mathematical topic. These are supported by key readings, peer presentations and tuto-rial comment on a draft.
