(* Indicates our recommendation for QTS at the end of your course. Full QTS is only
confirmed on successful completion of your first induction year in teaching)
All mathematics trainees should try to do some background reading on the teaching
of mathematics in Schools. A recommended text is Learning to Teach Mathematics in
the Secondary School: A Companion to School Experience (Learning to Teach
Subjects in the Secondary School Series) by Sue Johnston-Wilder, Peter JohnstonWilder, David Pimm and Clare Lee (11 Aug 2010).
There is also a wealth of general information on training to teach that can be found on
the Teaching Agency website http://www.education.gov.uk/get-into-teaching/
The National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics – NCETM, have
a large number of interesting resources. During the course you will complete a subject
knowledge audit and file for mathematics taught up to GCSE and A level so you might
find the NCETM’s self evaluation tools useful. These are found at
https://www.ncetm.org.uk under the Personal Learning tab. Trainees on the three year
course will have completed an audit against GCSE requirements in their first year.
If you want to brush up on GCSE mathematics topics, try looking at
www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/ and http://www.mymaths.co.uk Inexpensive
revision materials are available from The Mathematics Co-ordination Group
www.cgpbooks.co.uk. Keep any revision work that you complete, it can be added to
your subject knowledge file.
Part of the course involves the study of mathematics at degree level. We call this
subject study. Edge Hill supports the use of technology in teaching and learning
mathematics so you will certainly need access to a scientific calculator with statistical
functions, but access to a graphical calculator is preferable. If you wish to purchase a
graphical calculator, you should remember that our current regulations do not allow
calculators that have built in computer algebra systems to be used in examinations.
The subject study element of the first year course covers the key areas of pure
mathematics relating to algebraic structure, matrices and complex numbers. Trainees
have also learnt about mathematical reasoning, proof and logic, and the principles that
underpin the work that you have seen around functions and graphs. Applications of
mathematics form a strand that continues throughout the course and, in the first year
involves learning about modelling with mechanics. These will be built on in the two
years of your course so you will need a firm foundation in these areas from your
previous studies.
A condition of entry into year two of the degree course is that you must have completed
observational placements in schools amounting to 40 days in a secondary setting and
5 days in a primary setting.
To help you to prepare, please find below a set of pre-course material for mathematics.
This contains a great deal of work, some of which may be familiar to you linking to
some elements of the first year course. However, some of it may be completely new.
Please feel free to select the exercises which are of the most value to you personally.
Support for doing these exercises can be found in an Advanced Level
mathematics/further mathematics textbook, although you may need to look in different
texts for the pure mathematics and the applications to thoroughly cover the first year
material.
