In this course, participants will explore the core content of the Extension 1 course, focusing on strengthening their conceptual understanding and exploring the connections between topics. The course will also highlight effective pedagogical approaches for teaching challenging topics. Drawing on their own classroom experience, the presenter(s) will share strategies to help reduce student misconceptions and enhance performance, incorporating insights from HSC markers.
Participants will engage with a variety of hands-on, high-quality learning activities and reflect on how these can be adapted for their own classrooms. All participants will leave the course with practical, ready-to-use problems and resources to support their students' learning. These materials can be implemented immediately and shared with colleagues.
