Recent changes to the curriculum in primary mathematics education continue to challenge in-service teachers. The two subject modules on this pathway will seek to explore and resolve some of the tensions between the old and new curriculum.
The pathway will offer opportunities to upgrade subject knowledge in key areas identified by you following the modules and therefore seeks to react to the particular needs of the cohort.
Pathway modules will emphasise important links between theory and practice in mathematics education. Through reflection on practice, we seek to generate a sense of community that will allow you opportunities to share experiences and ideas.
About this course
This module is designed to improve your confidence in the teaching and learning of primary mathematics. Upon graduation, you may wish to explore roles in mathematical consultancy in the primary education sector, as a mathematics co-ordinator in primary school, or in initial teacher education roles in higher education.
Candidates need teaching experience in primary school settings and must be able to identify a placement centre where directed module tasks can be conducted with primary school children.
You will usually need an undergraduate or an equivalent credit bearing qualification to be accepted on the programme. Candidates applying with PGCE level certification may qualify for credit transfer for prior level 7 study.

Fostering Mathematical Understanding in the Primary School Classroom
You will conduct a critical review of relevant theoretical perspectives, including New National Curriculum expectations and guidelines, and, in the context of your own professional setting, reflect upon the effectiveness of the methods and techniques you employ for teaching and learning.
Learning and Teaching Mathematics in the Primary ClassroomIn this module we seek to compare and contrast a selection of learning theories closely associated with mathematics education through engagement with seminal literature and research findings in this field. An informed understanding of how children might make sense of their mathematical world will lead you to reflect upon the approaches and strategies you utilize/observe within schools in addressing current curricula demands within the subject.
