Advanced Mathematical Pedagogies | Federation University

EDBED4111 Advanced Mathematical Pedagogies

This unit extends PSTs understanding of advanced pedagogies that are used to develop mathematical skills and cater for the diverse range of learners in any primary classroom. Thinking routines will be explored with a focus on using thinking routines as a regular feature of mathematics classes to strengthen links between mathematical concepts. Rich assessment tasks will be developed using real world contexts that engage students. These tasks will then be evaluated to understand the richness of data that is obtained from such tasks. Differentiation will be another focus of the course examining different ways that work can be differentiated in line with current theoretical research on differentiation. This unit will explore pedagogies such as point of need teaching, inquiry and grouping within the classroom through data use. Writing accurate reports based on data and coding using both spreadsheets and commercially available software will also be explored.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree. To find out more about domestic tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
