Are you a High School teacher teaching Primary School maths? Teachers tasked with preparing students for OLNA often face the unique challenge of classes working at a level of understanding so low that it falls below their instructional knowledge or experience. Unfortunately, many teachers lack the primary pedagogical knowledge to bridge gaps and address misconceptions. However, this is no time for tricks and shortcuts!

MAWA is excited to bring quality professional learning to the Goldfields! This conference empowers regional educators with practical strategies, evidence-based practices, and innovative resources.

During this workshop we will explore a variety of activities and how to use algebra tiles to build understanding.

Join Narelle for this professional learning on prevention and intervention of maths difficulties using the Bond Blocks Addition & Subtraction Core Kit. Bond Blocks was developed by Western Australian classroom teacher Narelle Rice in partnership with Dr Paul Swan

The Counting to 10 and 20 with Bond Blocks resources target the major predictors of difficulty related to counting in Pre-Foundation and Foundation. Uses: Whole Class Teaching (Tier one) and Intervention (Tier two and three)

This workshop delves into the core of fraction concepts including the five meanings of fractions, the concept of the whole, using number lines, exploring equivalence and calculating without rules.

The AMC is an engaging 30-problem competition that demonstrates the importance and relevance of mathematics in students’ everyday lives; it is open to students in Years 3 to 12. Australia’s leading educators and academics, with a deep understanding of our national curriculum standards, actively design the unique AMC problems each year. Please check with your school before registering to ensure that they are not running this event as well. Due to the cost of competition papers and event preparation, no refunds are possible for this event once you have registered.

The expo is targeted at families in the aim to provide support to parents and students with mathematics learning at home. NOTE : The event fee is Per Family not Per Person as mentioned above.

Multiplicative thinking is fundamental to the development of many key mathematical concepts, such as base ten place value, measurement, and proportional reasoning. Yet, it’s teaching is seldom approached in a systematic, methodical and integrated way that fosters deep understanding, mastery and flexibility. This full day course provides school leaders and teachers with evidence based Curriculum, Teaching and Assessment strategies and resources to support the development of multiplicative thinking from Kindergarten on.

Young children are naturally curious and can be great problems solvers. This workshop will explore simple ways to this important 21st century skill into the early childhood classroom.
