In recent years, interest in the theory of complex networks has exploded. The advent of social media and progress in artificial intelligence have made network analysis into an indispensable tool. In this course, you will study the mathematical theory that […]

This module provides opportunities for studying how mathematics education is researched, and changing emphases in mathematics education and in research. It provides insights into key questions, factors and issues associated with the study of school mathematics contexts. It enables you

You will work on placement for ten weeks to support and develop your confidence to teach the whole class in mathematics at Key Stages 3 and 4. You will be able to demonstrate a competent level of subject and pedagogical

In this module, you will build on the material introduced in the first-year module to take a more in-depth look at the idea of estimation. You will learn how to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of estimators and how

This module focuses on developing pedagogies and skills that enhance specifically the effective teaching of mathematics with cognitive understanding. These are developed alongside an awareness of the historical and contemporary approaches to teaching mathematics responsibly.

Game theory tries to model how decision makers interact during situations of conflict or cooperation. The implications of this theory are widespread and have had a significant impact on many subjects including economic, biology and computer sciences.

This double module builds on the outcomes of two Y2 modules, Perspectives of Research in Mathematics Education and Teaching and Learning and aims to extend trainee teachers‘ independent research enquiry and intellectual capacity by extending their chosen area. Trainee teachers

In this module, you will build on the material introduced in the first-year module to take a more in-depth look at the idea of estimation. You will learn how to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of estimators and how

This module introduced you to the concept of a time series: a sequence of data that has been recorded in time order. The goal of this module is to try and understand how consecutive data points in a time series

As a result of initial planning and negotiation, a learning contract will be drawn up between individual students and the module co-ordinator. The content will, therefore, be negotiated in the light of identified needs.
