Workshop Overview
Numeracy has always been one of the key elements of making sense of the world. The knowledge, skills, behaviours, and attitudes we develop in our learners have an immediate and lasting impact on how they will use mathematics to make sense of this world. Our approach determines whether they will use it with skill and curiosity or dread it. Research on mathematical growth mindsets and data analytics confirms that the ways in which we teach and develop numeracy skills in students have changed. The aims of this workshop experience are:
- to inspire, educate and empower all teachers to use the latest research-based strategies
- to use inquiry-based practices in classrooms to form healthy mathematical habits
- to develop practices that engage children in rich, learner-centred visual and creative learning experiences.
