and how can we improve it?

We often hear that learning maths teaches reasoning,
problem solving logical, and critical thinking skills. Students
can develop a host of technical skills but if they lack the
capacity to apply these skills to solving problems which are
anything other than technical exercises, their knowledge
is irrelevant. A critical skill in mathematics is being able to
derive a mathematical formulation from a context. Yet we also
know that many students leave school not having mastered
essential numeracy skills.
What should the role of school mathematics education be in
our emerging new world? And as such, what mathematical
ideas should students be required to engage with? Why
are topics like algorithmic thinking and coding relevant to
secondary school mathematics?
Are we pushing kids too far by asking them to do maths until
year 10? Are we doing enough to combat maths anxiety in
the secondary school maths classroom? What are the factors
leading to this anxiety, and are we doing enough to address
them?
What if maths was elective from Year 9 like other subjects?
Couldn’t students get enough numeracy across the
curriculum after year 10 that maths was not needed anyway?
If maths was not compulsory teachers may need to improve
their practice and work harder to recruit and retain students in
maths subjects. Teachers could then focus on those who are
interested in maths, leading to more students taking higher
level mathematics than currently; do you agree?
Come along and explore these topics with our panel of
experts from across the maths education sector.

     This presentation is focused on helping teachers develop
     rich learning units that engage students, provide real-world
     experiences of maths and deepen students’ understandings of
     mathematical concepts, strategies and skills.
     Through this workshop, participants will be provided with
     resources and materials to support them in developing
     engaging mathematical units and learning experiences from
     Year 5 to Year 8.
     Key learnings from the last ten years, including what not to
     do and key considerations when implementing these units of
     learning, will also be shared with all participants to assist them
     in planning and developing future units.
