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.

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.

Square tiles are an excellent way to demonstrate the properties of arrays.

With an approach that focuses on understanding all students can do algebra. From my experience algebra tiles are an excellent teaching tool to make abstract concepts more visual and easier to understand.
