This workshop presents the findings of a research project that mapped the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers Pedagogy in Mathematics position paper. The AAMT position paper emphasises that no single approach can meet the needs of all learners and highlights the importance of teachers drawing on a flexible repertoire of strategies to support students. Similarly, UDL promotes the proactive design of learning experiences through multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression to reduce barriers and increase access for all learners.
This workshop will share how UDL aligns with the AAMT position paper. Participants will explore how UDL principles can be used to strengthen purposeful planning. Participants will examine examples of how multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression align with key pedagogical practices outlined in the AAMT position paper. Participants will also reflect on how this mapping can inform their own planning and decision-making in mathematics teaching.
