PK12-MATH2PJ - Mathematics (Primary & Junior) Part 2
Course Description
Mathematics (Primary/Junior) Part 2 builds on Part I by offering an opportunity to undertake a classroom-centered action research project in mathematics. Engage in a variety of modules, discussions, and learning activities in line with the Mathematics curriculum. An emphasis on the strands of Social-Emotional Learning, Mathematical Processes, and Financial Literacy will equip you with the knowledge and resources you need to support your students on their learning journeys. During the course, you'll have the opportunity to explore research techniques: completing a literature review, setting the problem, designing and implementing the methodology, gathering data, writing, then presenting the research. Collaboratively, you'll learn from the experience of others while studying current and effective learning strategies that improve students' mindsets and abilities in mathematics.
