Thinking and Working Mathematically

Target Audience: Teachers and Parents from K-9

• Teachers will participate in training to further develop teaching and learning strategies for the Number strand.   The workshop examines ways students learn mathematics using the Framework in Number and refers to the Count Me In Too (CMIT) and the Counting On Programs.
• Participants will experience a range of activities suitable for students from early Stage 1 to Stage 4 and examine how these can be applied to the Syllabus outcomes. At the end of the workshop participants will have an understanding of the Framework in Number, an introduction to CMIT and Counting On and how these programs contribute to Mathematical Thinking.
• Participants will have a bank of activities and teaching strategies that are relevant to the syllabus and they will be able to present this workshop to teachers at their school.

Creating the Link between Teaching, Learning and Understanding.

Mathematics is not invented; it already exists and is ours for the taking. The aim of The Mathematics Connectionis to allow everyone to achieve their mathematical potential by making mathematics relevant, fun, simple and logical. We make sense of mathematics.

These workshops are a great pre-cursor to in school workshops.   Please see our attached flyer for information about this service.
