University workshops will draw upon your school experience and help you to interpret that experience in the light of current practice in Mathematics education. Some sessions will introduce you to themes through focussed practical tasks, Examining Board publications and leading texts. At other times you will be asked to focus on evidence you collect through your school experience. You will also be asked to use the ideas explored in the sessions in planning your future work. You will also be asked to collaborate with others in preparing and presenting your views on key issues. Your work in this module will be supported through regular meetings with your subject mentor. You will be expected to take responsibility for relating the issues addressed in this module to your personal experience and building up evidence in your portfolio. Your subject mentor and university tutor will support you in this process.

A further 252 hours of independent study will require you to take responsibility for relating the issues addressed in this module to your personal experience and building up evidence in your portfolio. Your mentor and university tutor will support you in this process.

Learning outcomes will be assessed through:
An assignment of 3000 words based on a critical evaluation of a teaching resource/activity in the context of its contribution to the wider school curriculum and its place in a scheme of work/Specification. Assesses learning outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Mathematics Education in the School Curriculum:
Aims and objectives of Mathematics education; subject curriculum history and current curriculum debate; the nature of Mathematics education. The variety of contexts: A2 and AS level, GCSE and KS3; functional Mathematics. Recent curriculum development activities.

Preparing for Teaching and Learning
Objectives and lesson planning; designing classroom tasks using a variety of resources; preparing schemes of work and issues in progression; assessment and record keeping; using simulations and practical; using visual stimulus; creativity in Mathematics education.

Assessment
Formative, summative and examinations, links to KS3 documents and Specifications, homework assignments: reports, requirements to public assessment at KS2 and KS4, Assessing pupil progress (APP).
