The study guides for E207.
I've started to make some notes, which I hope with help with my understanding of the topics covered by the books.
I've started with the "Mathematics explained for primary teachers", which I took into school last week to show to my mentor & class teacher, so they have an idea of what it is I'm doing this year and how best to support me. They where surprised at the level of the study guide. One student teacher said that it was the same book she was told to study on her PGCE course! (Well done O.U.)
I've found that in recent years, If I get ahead start on my studies, it means that if I'm finding a part tricky, I can take my time and ask a host of questions to enlighten me.
Here's hoping that as the course starts I will form a deeper understanding of the course material. Until that time it's notes and mind maps.
Roll on Sep 18th when E207 course forums open!
Until next time.
