Facilitator | Deb Woodard Knight
Wednesday 30th October | Term 4 | Week 3
Two new themes to Australian Curriculum Version 9 (and the new South Australian Curriculum) for Years 7-10 are algorithmic thinking and conducting statistical investigations. This workshop takes a dive into these two content areas, discusses different engaging approaches for teaching this content and presents one school’s response to these themes.
All classroom resources will be shared and we’d love it if teachers could bring any of their own work in this area they felt like sharing.
