Course Modules

This module is designed to develop your personal study skills. You will undertake an independent study into an aspect of education under the guidance of the module co-ordinator. You will accommodate new principles and new knowledge through your own study. […]

In this module, you will consider the teaching styles, leadership qualities and resources that are effective in the delivery of the secondary mathematics curriculum. You will also examine the management structures of the wider school setting and explore decision making

This module will examine managements structures and theory and practice models of teaching mathematics. You will consider methods for implementing change within the mathematics curriculum, to better help students ages 14-19 better engage with the subject.

You will be given opportunities to reflect on the knowledge base introduced in taught modules and to extend and demonstrate the inter-relationships between pedagogical theory, mathematics and your placement experiences. It is designed to be focused on the awareness that

The modules will use a variety of practical tasks to introduce the big ideas of statistics, namely describing: comparing; interrelating and uncertainty. The task will be based of the concept of statistical modelling using the data-handling cycle as presented in

Statistics involves the analysis and interpretation of data with a view to making more informed decisions. As such, its importance in the 21st century can hardly be overstated: statistical techniques are fundamental tools in data science, economics and biology, to

The content of all the mathematics modules follows the overarching principle of developing students’ technical ability, development of knowledge into areas of mathematical structure, proof and formality, continuity, discrete procedures, limiting processes, mathematical modelling and interpretation of space. This module’s

This module introduces students to the study of the motion of bodies (including the special case in which bodies remain at rest) in accordance with the general principles first articulated by Sir Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei. Applied mathematics has

This module explores what effective maths teachers need to know in terms of their own subject knowledge and depth of cognitive understanding. Using current theoretical frameworks, you will develop your own cognitive understanding of key, foundational topics in the secondary

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.
