The Project Aim is to ascertain and compare the mathematical identities of primary school student teachers.

Project Objectives:

To briefly compare the mathematics curricula (4-17) north and south and provide a comparison of mathematics in initial teacher education
To determine the mathematical identity of selected student teachers using a range of tools including the use of narrative.
To explore how narrative might inform good practice in mathematics education.

Using I.C.T. can help explain concepts in a multi-sensory way. It can allow pupils to explore, explain and describe what is happening.
