Join us for a practical “hands-on” Mathematics workshop with the states leading Mathematics specialist, author and highly sought after speaker.

Back by popular demand, this workshop will immerse participants in the development of mathematical literacies in the teaching of the Number & Algebra Strand of Mathematics. This is a repeat of the sold out workshop held in January, 2019.

Dr Paul Swan will inspire confidence as he demonstrates how mathematics can be used in an ‘engaging and empowering way’ within the classroom to foster high quality teaching best practices.

AITSL aligned certification will be provided for all participants on completion.

Cost: Members $240; Catholic Members $320; Non – Members $400 Target Audience: Years 3 – 9
AITSL Standards: 1.2; 2.1; 2.5
Presenters: Dr Paul Swan and David Dunstan
Description: In this two-day course participants will be exposed to different aspects of fractions and be provided with a variety of tasks to assess fraction knowledge and to address any misconceptions. There will be many hands-on activities that will make strong connections with unit fractions, decimals and percentages.

Feedback from 2018 participants

• Variety of activities to make connections and consolidate the understanding and how we go about teaching fractions.
• Variety of manipulatives that can be used to teach/re-teach same understandings. Ideas are easy to use.
• Importance of the use of concrete materials regardless of year level – do not brush over the concrete learning stage.
