To follow the course it's required to have a good level in basic mathematics.
It is a basic subject of disciplinary content. Its purpose is to consolidate fundamental mathematical knowledge through various methodologies: problem solving, research and projects, among others. Consolidated progress in this subject should serve as a basis for the construction of of the teaching of mathematics throughout the degree. The fundamental mathematical knowledge built up in this subject is what will enable future teachers to guide Primary Education students towards the achievement of the mathematical competencies of the stage.
The following are specific objectives of the course:
1. Geometry to understand space.
Elementary geometric constructions. Plain representation of space.
2. Numbers to count and calculate.
Natural numbers. Decimal numbering system. Divisibility.
3. Measure to know the environment.
Concept of magnitude. Proportionality.
4. Data for interpreting reality.
Organization, interpretation and visualization of data.
The following are considered transversal contents relevant to all the content mentioned before:
5. Visualisation and representation of ideas and mathematical concepts.
6. Problem solving.
7. Patterns and relationships.

The teaching proposal is based on a methodology of active, face-to-face classroom work. In parallel, the student must carry out the proposed tasks on time in order to properly follow the teaching of the subject. The student must work bearing in mind that learning mathematics requires daily practice and that mathematics is not learnt by watching or seeing how someone else does mathematics. Learning is based on DOING mathematics, showing a pro-active attitude.
The student is expected to autonomously take responsibility for extending his or her basic mathematical knowledge. The inclusion of different learning paces will be facilitated with voluntary, non-assessable activities. The specific assessment activities and the criteria for marking them will be the same for all those enrolled on the course.
The inclusion of different learning paces will be facilitated with proposals for non-assessable voluntary activities. The specific assessment activities and the criteria for marking them will be the same for all those enrolled on the course. In mathematics, the result of each activity or problem can be reached by different routes. This premise is what allows us to promote an inclusive vision of mathematics learning.
Activity analysis and Problem solving
Working sessions in small or large groups where problems are solved and situations are analysed in relation to the mathematical contents involved in the subject. The students responsible for the assignment will present their work orally and the teacher will validate the mathematical knowledge that is involved with the active participation of the rest of the students.
Master classes
Presentation by the teacher of the main contents of the course in which students are expected to actively participate.
Practices or investigations
Group work sessions where research activities are proposed that students solve under the guidance of their teacher.
NOTE: The proposed teaching methodology and assessment may be modified if health authorities impose restrictions on public gatherings.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The student must work bearing in mind that learning mathematics requires daily practice and that mathematics is not learned by watching or listening to how someone does mathematics. Learning is based on DOING mathematics, showing a proactive attitude. Students are expected to autonomously take responsibility for extending and consolidating their basic mathematical knowledge.
The specification of some of the assessment activities will depend on whether the student chooses continuous assessment or single assessment. The assessment criteria will be the same for all those enrolled on the course.
TEST OF BASIC MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE AS A REQUIREMENT FOR ASSESSMENT
During the course the student must obtain a minimum mark of 7 out of 10 in a Basic Mathematical Knowledge (BMK) test in which he/she must demonstrate that he/she has mastered the mathematical knowledge proper to compulsory education.
The BMK test aims to verify that the studenthas reached a good level of basic mathematics, in particular the mathematics of compulsory education, which is a prerequisite for the evaluation of the subject. In the event that the student does not pass the minimum grade in any of the three examinations, the final grade for the subject will be a 3.
TYPOLOGY AND WEIGHTING OF EVALUATION ACTIVITIES
For each of the different blocks into which the subject is organised (organisation of data; numbers and proportionality; geometry and measurement) there will be a follow-up assessment activity for the block, which will take one form or another depending on whether the student chooses continuous assessment or single assessment.
The follow-up assessment activities for each block have different typologies:
At the beginning of each block, the follow-up assessment activities for the block will be presented and specified.
FINAL TEST
Two weeks after finishing the subject there will be an individual final test of the entire course content (50% of the course grade). The date of the final exam is 18/06/2024 or 20/06/2024 depending on the day of the week that the group teaches this subject.
MAKE-UP TEST
Those students who in the final exam have a grade higher than 3.5 but do not get a 5 can take a make-up exam (weight 50% - in substitution of the final exam grade). The make-up exam will take place two weeks after the final exam, on 01/07/2025 or 03/07/2025 depending on the day of the week that the group is teaching this subject.
CALCULATION OF THE COURSE GRADE
The final grade of the course is the weighted average of the marks of the three evaluation activities of the monitoring of the blocks (geometry and measurement = 15%; number and proportionality = 20%; organisation of data = 15%) and the mark obtained in the final test or the make-up test (with a weight of 50%), with the following conditions:
OTHER ASSESSMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The student should take into account the following normative considerations on assessment:
ATTENDANCE AND ASSESSMENT
The course is face-to-face. Students who are not in the seminar sessions during the development of the evaluation activities of the monitoring of a block will have a maximum mark of 5 for that block. This consideration applies to both continuous assessment students and single assessment students.
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
Specific dates for the specific assessment activities for students takingpart in continuous assessment:
SINGLE ASSESSMENT
Students who take the single assessment must follow the development of the subject, attending class regularly. However, they WILL NOT SUBMIT THE FOLLOW-UP ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE BLOCK UNTIL THE SAME DAY OF THE FINAL ASSESSMENT. For this reason, they WILL NOT HAVE A RETURN of the individualised follow-up assessment activities of the blocks during the course of the subject. In any case, they will be able to access the general feedback, either that which is done during the feedback sessions for the whole class group or that which may be published on the virtual campus for the whole group.
The date of collection of the assessment evidence and the requirement for a validation test of the evidence collected is specific to students who take the single assessment. The teaching team of the subject considers it necessary to carry out a validation test of the collected evidences because the students will have had access to the process of returning the activities and the project and the corrected evidences of their classmates.
The date for the delivery for the evaluation of the blocks and for the tests for their validation and the test of the block of numbers and proportionality is the same established for the final exam, 17/06/2025 or 19/06/2025 depending on the day of the week that the group has teaching of this subject.
Therefore, on 17/06/2025 or 19/06/2025, as appropriate, students taking the single assessment must:
- Take the CMF test if necessary, if they have not passed any of the previous tests with a 7/10.
- Take the same final test at the same time as the rest of the students in the course; the same conditions will apply to the make-up test if necessary.
- Take an individual written test to evaluate the follow-up of the block of numbers and proportionality.
- Hand in the evaluation activities of the geometry and measurement block and take their validation tests.
Students with a mark of 3.5 or more but less than 5 can take a recovery test, which will be the same for all students of the subject and will be held on the same day (on 02/07/2024 or 04/07/2024 as appropriate).
The grade for the geometry and measurement and data organisation blocks will be that of the corresponding validation test.
The weighting of the assessment of the different blocks and of the final exam (or, if applicable, the recovery) and the calculation of the final mark for the course are the same for all students on the course, even if they have taken a single assessment. The other specific assessment considerations also apply to both continuous assessment and single assessment students.
It is essential that students taking a single assessment reserve the FULL DAY of the final assessment, 17/06/2025 or 19/06/2025 as appropriate, in order to have time to carry out all the tests that will constitute the evidence of their assessment.
ATTENTION NOTE FOR STUDENTS WHO DID NOT PASS THE COURSE IN PREVIOUS ACADEMIC YEARS
From the academic year 2023-24, there is NO SYNTHESIS ASSESSMENT for this subject.
Therefore, those enrolling for thesecond time will be able to choose between continuous assessment or single assessment. In both cases, the conditions regarding attendance will be the same as for the rest of the students enrolled in the subject. Therefore, we recommend that students repeating the subject ensure that they are available in time to follow it regularly, if necessary, avoiding enrolling in other subjects of other courses that are taught on the same day in the same time slot.
NOTE: In order to pass this subject, it is necessary to show a good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the vehicular language or languages listed in the teaching guide. In all activities (individual and group), linguistic correctness, writing and formal aspects of presentation will therefore be taken into account. It is necessary to be able to express oneself fluently and correctly and to show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or failed if it is deemed not to meet these requirements.
