Workshop Descriptor:

This workshop will engage participants in what research says about effective teaching and learning of mathematics and how this connects to inquiry. Participants will explore mathematics concepts through engagement with a range of learning challenges. The role of high challenge tasks, digital provocations, mindsets, assessment for learning and organization of curriculum in creating learning environments that inspire students to think and engage as mathematicians, will be explored. Participants will also have the opportunity, to engage with the planning process in response to the workshop.

Participants will:

• Explore research relating to effective teaching of mathematics

• Engage in practical mathematics inquiry and develop a deeper understanding of mathematics concepts

• Examine the place of high challenge and non-routine cognitive tasks and how to build them into a coherent program

• Identify factors which support inquiry in the teaching and learning of mathematics

• Explore ways of assessment for learning rather than performance

• Reflect on the impact of the workshop on their current teaching of mathematics

Audience:

Primary and early childhood teachers of mathematics, curriculum leaders, principals.
