This is MAWA's Annual General Meeting. All MAWA members are encouraged to attend.

The Mathematical Association of Western Australia will host the 2024 Virtual Maths Conference on Friday 3 May. The theme for this conference is “small steps, big impact”.

Are you a teacher who also takes on or aspires to leadership roles? This program is tailored specifically for individuals, from primary or secondary schools in leadership positions within mathematics/numeracy, including curriculum leaders, Heads of Learning Mathematics Area, and those aspiring to leadership roles. It is applicable for both Primary and Secondary school leaders.

The late Dr Derek Hurrell was admired by many as an educational visionary. In his honour, MAWA has brought together WA’s foremost educational leaders for a day of motivating and stimulating professional learning. Come and be inspired as we celebrate Derek’s practical and humorous approach to teaching maths. This workshop is designed to build teacher capacity for engaging students and nurturing mathematical problem solving and reasoning.

Learn how to quickly and easily elevate routine activities in early childhood environments into learning experiences that facilitate quality maths talk and develop the underlying concepts of mathematical understanding.

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 workshop is for children who have registered to complete the AMC with MAWA.

You’re on a mission to teach maths better and reach more students. Join Pam Harris for small steps that shift the focus from memorizing and mimicking to reasoning and mathematizing. And get big results. Walk away with the best strategies, models, and tasks to make it happen. Math is Figure-out-able!

Engage in experiences that engage students in creating deep understandings of linear functions. Some formative and possibly summative assessment ideas will be explained. Audience: Year 7 – 9 teachers.
