Presenter: Dr James Russo and Toby Russo

Audience: Foundation-year 8

Webinar synopsis:

In this webinar, we explore how small but impactful modifications can deepen mathematical thinking. Learn to transform 'Pinocchio games' into authentic games that foster strategy and choice. Discover how the 'Time Machine' mechanism encourages students to reflect on past decisions and anticipate future outcomes, creating meaningful connections to mathematical concepts. Dive into non-replacement mechanisms, like using cards instead of dice, to shift probabilities and enhance strategic decision-making. With practical examples such as Closest to X and Reverse Landgrab, you’ll leave with fresh ideas to energise your teaching and engage students.

Presenter: Dr Chrissy Monteleone

Audience: Foundation/kindergarten-year 2

Webinar synopsis:

Student responses in mathematics can take various forms, including verbal explanations, written work, illustrations, and gestures. Young children often move fluidly between these representations to communicate their mathematical thinking with peers and teachers. This presentation explores how student illustrations can be interpreted to reveal critical mathematical thinking, highlighting the role of dialogue and visual representation in deepening mathematical understanding.

Presenter: Dr Aylie Davidson

Audience: Years 3-8

Webinar synopsis:

This session explores varied task types for teaching fractions, emphasising that explicit teacher actions can occur at different points in a lesson. Key planning and teaching considerations include: having a clear mathematical and pedagogical focus; sequenced high-quality tasks to build relational understanding; teacher understanding of the tasks; and appropriate supports for managing mathematical, cognitive, and relational aspects. Participants will discuss the inherent risks and benefits of different ways of making mathematics concepts explicit in lessons.

Presenter: Dr Claudia Orellana-Farias

Audience: Years 3-9

Webinar synopsis:

Assessment plays a key role in teaching. It can assist us in determining prior knowledge, monitoring student progress and informs our future planning. With the rise of different applications and online tools, there are greater opportunities to assess students' mathematical knowledge in various ways, both formally and informally. This presentation will showcase selected online resources that are available to teachers and highlight the type of information that can be gathered from each.

Presenter: Emeritus Professor Peter Sullivan

Audience: All primary and secondary years

Webinar synopsis:

Among the reasons for the current attention to Explicit Teaching, is that some problem-solving experiences place a demand on learners’ cognitive load inhibiting their capacity to engage. This session will illustrate ways that cognitive load can be managed so as to ensure students have the capacity to engage and to preserve the advantages of learning to, and through, problem solving.

Presenter: Associate Professor Jill Brown (Deakin)

Audience: Foundation-year 8

Webinar synopsis:

Mathematical Modelling is now embedded in the Australian Curriculum. It involves the solving of real-world problems. Hence, students use mathematics to gain insight into real-world phenomena as they make sense of real-world situations and problems and make decisions about possible solution approaches. This webinar considers what modelling looks like in school classrooms and how teachers might prepare for, and implement, modelling tasks. Several modelling tasks are used in the webinar to discuss various aspects of modelling.
