MATHS 712: Teaching and Learning in Algebra and Calculus
Summer Semester 2025 (15 points)
This course is concerned with students' ways of thinking in and about algebra and calculus.
In a highly interactive and collaborative environment, we are going to discuss the subject in a critical manner based on contemporary research, and teaching-and-learning experiences that the course students bring to the classroom.
Students' engagement, contribution, and collaboration are the key to the success of the course.

STATS 708: Topics in Statistics Education
Semester 1, 2025 (15 points)
Covers a wide range of New Zealand and international research in statistics and data science education at the school and tertiary level.
The focus is on how probability, statistics, data science and statistical literacy can be effectively taught and learned.
Consideration of issues involved in learning statistics, data science and probability are examined through research literature discussions, practical applications for the classroom including computer activities, and lectures.

MATHS 702: Mathematical Processes in the Curriculum
Semester 2, 2025 (15 points)
Historically, mathematics curricula have emphasised the what of mathematics (content), at the expense of considering the how.
This course uses hands-on experiences and research literature to explore how to teach, learn and do mathematics through processes such as:

“I think the fact that we all did the same paper in Semester One has been a huge success. Learning together and having time together to discuss and collaborate has been the gold.”
It has been very much an honour getting to know each other this year. Both our initial meeting and Lisa’s face to face days created a sense of whanaungatanga and I have so appreciated this. The connections I have made are incredibly valuable. I feel very lucky.
Thank you
