Pre-service teachers will become familiar with a range of Mathematics assessments and programs. Pre-service teachers will examine the research on how to assist children who need additional support in the Mathematics learning area. Pre-service teachers will apply their knowledge to create a sequence of mathematics lessons that engages and challenges each learner.?
