Course Title: Planning For Effective Teaching and Learning in Mathematics Classroom
Duration: 30 hours

Competency:
Develop mathematical education in the learners in secondary school; especially those in the process of becoming
mathematics teachers, for those who are already experienced who want to contemplate a change to mathematics
teaching and for those who are in their early stages of their mathematics teaching careers.

Purpose:
Learners credited with this unit standard would have acquired skills and knowledge to instigate and complement good
mathematics teaching practice in their classrooms. This will lead them to different activities that they will do to plan
effective lessons, develop reliable resources, teach the lessons to peers, improve awareness of teaching situations and
strategies, manage mathematics classroom effectively, communicate the language of mathematics effectively and use
various approaches to teach & learn mathematics.

Key Outcomes
As a result of their participation in this course, it is anticipated that course participants will be able to:
1. Use their knowledge of lesson preparation, to prepare lessons for secondary mathematics.
2. Use appropriate teaching strategies to cater for individual differences in pupils and groups of pupils.
3. Deliver planned lesson in the given time.
4. Becoming familiar with secondary mathematics curriculum materials.
5. Evaluate their own and their peers’ teaching so as to improve their future performance.
6. Develop awareness of the need for efficient planning and preparation as this is central to avoid classroom
management problems.
