Mathematics 1 Unit Subject Knowledge Enhancement Course
Introduction
Throughout the 10 days, there will be an emphasis on forms of representation, mathematical modelling (including the use of ICT and physical simulation), and warrants for results (hypothesis, demonstration, proof). Particular attention is paid to the underlying processes and structures of mathematics. The course is designed for aspiring teachers whose mathematics (or strongly related discipline) degree is narrowly focussed or rather distant (in time of content) from contemporary secondary studies.
