Upcoming Professional Learning

This workshop is suitable for teachers who wish to learn how to play Numero and introduce it to their class. Join this fun, hands-on workshop to see what Numero can do for your children! This workshop is for parents and/or children from age 10+. Learn to play the game and see how it will improve maths for the whole family!

This workshop is designed for teachers who are new or recently new to Numero competitions (primary or secondary) as the focus will be on competing.

There are a significant number of skills required to progress from the Pre-Foundation (Kindy) to the Foundation (Pre-primary) curriculum. Learn about the Kindy and Pre-primary Bond Block resources and how these can support students build solid mathematical foundations and language through explorative play, guided play and teacher led instruction. These two resources build the pre-requisite skills required for the Bond Blocks Core Intervention Kit.

Bond Blocks is a whole school system made up of ready-to-go, sequenced resources to build a firm foundation in addition and subtraction. The Bond Blocks Core Intervention Kit is a resource of over 100 sequenced activities to comprehensively build understanding and fluency with basic addition and subtraction including application to related pre-algebra and word problems. This resource sequentially covers all addition and subtraction content descriptors from Years 1 to 3.

Maths talks that promote reasoning “We don’t need children to be fast in math, calculators are fast. We need children to be thinkers.” Dr Yeap Ban Har, Mathematics educator and teaching professional development advocate in Singapore. When an algorithm is shown to students it becomes the accepted and only way that they solve number problems and get the correct answer. During this workshop the focus will be on not only the correct answer, but the variety of strategies students use, and teachers should celebrate and encourage.

How important is multiplicative thinking? Children who do not think multiplicatively do not generally progress beyond middle primary mathematics.

Catering for mathematically able students Mathematically able students need problems where the answer is not immediately obvious, and in some instances, where steps in a solution aren’t immediately obvious either. Mathematically able students need time to think, reason, attempt different strategies, but most importantly: fail! This classroom corner is here to give you tools as a teacher, to challenge your mathematically able students in an engaging and valuable way that enhances their learning experience.
