Do you have disengaged students who have strengths in sports or hands-on activities? Are you interested in using narrative to teach abstract mathematical concepts? This interactive workshop explores practical Maths as Storytelling (MAST) activities and lesson starters that resonated deeply with disengaged sports-loving students to help shift their mindset. Yuka will also share her journey of creating the ACT MAST Community where strengths from primary to tertiary educators are shared to help re-engage and inspire all students using the Goompi Model (guided by Prof Chris Matthews). From co-writing the National Indigenous Commitment Statement 2 years ago in Adelaide to trialling one MAST lesson starter then gradually creating her own adaptation of MAST as a new maths program at her school and beyond - this is a story that encapsulates the power of a like-minded community.
