The Additional Qualification Course: Mathematics, Grades 7 and 8 employs a critical, pedagogical lens to explore in a holistic and integrated manner theoretical foundations, learning theory, program planning, development and implementation, instructional design and practices, assessment and evaluation, the learning environment, research and ethical considerations related to teaching and learning across the divisions. Through these explorations, candidates strengthen professional efficacy by gaining in-depth knowledge, refining professional judgment and generating new knowledge for practice.

We will examine our values, perceptions and knowledge about teaching, learning, assessing and communicating about mathematics. We will build on this understanding through professional readings, problem solving both on your own and with students, discussions, ongoing analysis, reflection and finally an action research project.
These learning experiences will provide the basis for your understanding of current mathematical pedagogy and Ministry policy, as well as enable you to prepare, implement and access curriculum for grade 7 and 8 students. You will examine the current trends in assessment and evaluation and measure those theories alongside your own assessment and evaluation practices.
