Course Description

This course introduces student teachers to the teaching and learning of mathematics and statistics in the early years of schooling (Years 0–3), with a focus on Phase 1 of Te Mātaiaho. Students develop understanding of how children learn across number, algebra, measurement, geometry, and statistics, and how effective pedagogy, assessment, mathematical language, and representations support progress. The course prepares students to plan, teach, and assess at the year level, while reflecting on the dispositions that shape equitable, relational, and responsible practice.
