AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The aims of this part of the course are: A. to revise and further develop the theme of rational numbers (fractions, decimal representation, representation on the number line); B. to revise basic geometry notions (length and surface measurements; elementary plane and space geometry concepts). Both subjects will be treated with reference to teaching in grades K to 5. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The course is aimed at: 1) revising basic arithmetics and geometry contents to be taught in grades K-5; more specifically, the following themes will be addressed: rational numbers and their representations; heights of a triangle; parallelism in plane; definitions in geometry. 2) developing didactical competences in mathematics teaching (being aware of didatical issues connected with the mathematical content; being able to perform a priori analysis of the tasks) 3) developing competences in planning, implementing, critically revising teaching sequences and carrying out efficient assessment strategies. TEACHING METHODS Laboratory-style lessons (individual work on worksheets + class discussions). Participant students are expected to attend to minimum 2/3 of the lessons, fill out the worksheet and do some homeworks. They are also required to write down, in groups, the notes of the lessons. Non participant students are expected to fill the worksheets at home. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The concept of rational number and its representations. The concept of parallelism in plane; areas; theoretical figures and drawings; heights of a triangle; definitions in geometry. The aforementioned contents will be treated in reference to current National Guidelines and to the related teaching and learning problems, with a focus on linguistic and representation aspects. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Worksheets and reading materials will be provided during the course on aulaweb. A revised version of the notes of the lessons will be provided on aulaweb.

The written exam will consist of open-ended quesiton concerning mathematical aspects (e.g. representing a rational number on the number line) and didatical ones (e.g. analysis of an INVALSI item; analysis of an excerpt from a textbook; designing a task to address a mathematical topic). Non participant students will receive additional questions in the written exam.
