Age Appropriate Mathematics: applying mathematical concepts, processes & skills (M)
 
 
 


This self-paced on-line course is aimed at teachers who would like to explore each of the strands of the Mathematics curriculum in a structured and systematic way including Number, Shape & Space, Measures, Data and Algebra, looking at explanations of key mathematical concepts and processes, main teaching points, along with approaches and methodologies. Mental arithmetic strategies for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division will also be covered.

The on-line format of the course enables you to study when and where you want to learn. Content is divided into 5 modules which you can complete in any order within an 8 week period (1st July to 22nd August 2008).

Participants are encouraged to interact with one another using the communication tools (forum, chat, e-mail) provided by the CPD College learning system. Active facilitation throughout the course provides expert interaction, guidance and feedback for all participants. Assignments and questions which call for critical reflection, self-analysis and a reasoned response punctuate this highly interactive web based course.

On completion of the course the participant will be presented with their own time record, excercise content and approval by the course facilitator as their CPD record to keep.

All courses are DES approved for EPV days
