Course Description BTIs covered

The course aims to equip the prospective teachers with the necessary pedagogical content knowledge for the teaching of
basic contents in mathematics in the intermediate grades. Understanding and appreciation of key concepts and skills involving 1.1.1
numbers and number (whole numbers, number theory, fractions, decimals, ratio and proportion, percent and integers); 1.2.1
measurement (time, speed, perimeter, circumference and area of plane figures, volume and surface area of solid/ space figures, 1.5.1
temperature and meter reading); geometry (parallel and perpendicular lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles 2.5.1
and solid figures); patterns and algebra (continuous and repeating patterns, number sentences, sequences and simple 4.1.1
equations); statistics and probability (bar graphs, line graphs and pie graphs, simple experiment and experimental probability) as 4.5.1
applied using appropriate technology in critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning, communicating, making connections,
representations and decisions in real life. Various principles and appropriate teaching approaches, methods and techniques
associated with Mathematics Instruction
towards assuming responsibility for independent learning will be emphasized.
Course Learning Outcomes BTIs covered
At the end of the course, the pre-service teachers will be able to:
A. Demonstrate content knowledge and skills in teaching the K-12 BEC Mathematics curriculum for the intermediate grades 1.1.1, 1.5.1
to promote critical and creative thinking skills.
B. Demonstrate research-based pedagogical content knowledge and skills in teaching the K-12 BEC Mathematics curriculum 1.2.1, 2.4.1
for the primary grades through learning environments that nurture and inspire learner participation.
C. Demonstrate knowledge of learning environments that motivate learners to work productively by assuming responsibility 2.5.1
for their own learning.
D. Show skills in the selection, development and use of a variety of teaching and learning resources, including ICT, to 4.5.1
address learning goals aligned to meet curriculum requirements.
E. Show knowledge and skills in designing, selecting and using assessment tools aligned with the curriculum requirement
