How do everyday classroom moments become powerful opportunities for mathematical thinking? In this workshop, Sally, a Foundation teacher at Redeemer Lutheran School, shares her intentional approach to embedding mathematics within daily routines. Drawing on a simple but purposeful example, data collection during Fruit Break, Sally demonstrates how rich mathematical learning can emerge through questioning, noticing, and authentic classroom conversations. Her work highlights how subitising, counting, estimating, and data interpretation can be developed naturally while also strengthening student voice, curiosity, and classroom culture.

This classroom practice is part of a wider AISSA-supported, whole-school project focused on re-visioning mathematics teaching and learning. Kirsty, Deputy Principal (Teaching and Learning), will share how Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) have been central to driving this work, supporting professional dialogue, strengthening pedagogical rigour and ensuring coherent and sustained improvement in mathematics teaching practice across the school.
