<p>This unit focuses on building personal competence in mathematics learning and teaching so that students increase their conceptual understanding of content. Students will examine the connections between theory and practice; consider the role of reflection in and on learning and be proficient in developing mathematical teaching experiences that enhance student learning. Students will gain an understanding of the significance of self-reflection and the value of lifelong learning.</p>
