This workshop shares a Year 8 measurement topic investigation assessment, adapted from a textbook context involving athletics tracks. The task was designed to interleave circle perimeter, Pythagoras’ theorem, and linear …
In the age of Generative AI+ it is becoming increasingly important that we strengthen the authenticity of our assessment, we must be able to verify that a student’s work is …
Differentiation is often confused with individualised work or using an online program to deliver content at the appropriate year level. While a step in the right direction, neither of these …
This workshop offers an engaging and accessible exploration of the mathematics underpinning bushfire behaviour. It bridges classroom-ready concepts with authentic applications, demonstrating how core mathematical ideas can illuminate one of …
Squares are a pretty cool shape! Two investigations into squares, a puzzle and a visual pattern to explore offer a smorgasbord to challenge your thinking. Suitable for any student who …
The Operation Tower is how I help students remember and make sense of the order of operations (which other people use “BEDMAS” for). In this workshop I will describe the …
Turn Maths into something students can see, touch, and control. In this hands-on workshop, discover how the TI-Innovator Hub transforms coding from abstract to real—powering LEDs, reading sensors, and bringing …
Number fact fluency is often misunderstood, with memorisation positioned as something to avoid in favour of conceptual understanding. This workshop reframes memorisation for what it is: the ability to remember …
This workshop examines the familiar procedure of simplifying in fraction multiplication as a powerful site for developing conceptual understanding. Rather than treating simplification as a rule (“just cancel”), the session …
