Inclusion creates community
Aim
The heterogeneity of a learning community is also reflected in the prenumerical starting points and basic mathematical skills of the pupils. This course, which builds on the students' basic knowledge of mathematics didactics, deals with the resulting pedagogical, mathematics-related tasks, in particular diagnostics, objectives, and promotion as well as special learning paths in the areas of practical life and the promotion of giftedness and talent.
Content
- Learning starting points: linguistic, spatial, perceptual, and experiential basic skills relevant to mathematics as well as the observation and analysis of these
- Institutional framework for the learning field of mathematics: Curricula, development plans, and performance assessment, taking into account child diversity
- Unlocking developmental pathways of learning: prenumerical area, initial arithmetic and geometric teaching, arithmetic strategies, and the derivation of necessary intermediate steps
- Guidance on developmental paths of learning: Material selection, creation, and adaptation in the learning field of mathematics
- Special developmental paths of learning I: practical life action in a mathematised world
- Special developmental pathways of learning II: Giftedness and the promotion of giftedness in the STEM field

Graduates ...
- are familiar with the various influences within child development that have affect basic skills relevant to mathematics
- can derive the level of skill from observation and analysis and use it to design teaching steps
- acquire expertise on institutionally defined framework conditions
- can develop teaching–learning scenarios in the subject area of mathematics within this framework; these take into account children’s diversity in the development of skills
- can design an initial mathematics lesson oriented towards diversity and reflexive gender pedagogy
- can divide mathematical solution paths into individually required intermediate steps
- are able to adapt calculation strategies in a process-oriented way
- are able to select learning materials according to the pedagogical objective, the learning level, and the chosen learning strategy for the learning field of mathematics and to create them independently or to modify them according to needs and requirements
- can recognise the importance of prenumerical and mathematical fundamentals for practical life and can prepare learners adequately and in a gender-appropriate manner in this respect
- can recognise pedagogical questions that raise special talents in the STEM area and can answer them in a way that promotes development through appropriate teaching.
