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.

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