About this course

Intended for mathematics teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of modern mathematics didactics and explore how to engage Generation Z students. The course explores the goals, content and methods of teaching mathematics, as well as differentiation, individualisation and teacher competencies. Participants will learn about generational theory, insights from neuroscience and the updated national curriculum. The training links theoretical knowledge with practical examples and active teaching and learning strategies.

You will learn:

to explain the principles of generational theory and their application in mathematics education;
to identify Generation Z learner characteristics and select appropriate teaching strategies;
to analyse the updated mathematics curriculum highlights and competency development requirements;
to apply active learning methods in mathematics lessons;
to implement differentiation and individualisation strategies in practical teaching situations.
