Workshop Synopsis:

In this workshop, Anne and Doug will focus on:

• understanding the growth points and how they relate to the MOI items
• the purpose and structure of the Foundation Detour section, including data on student achievement
• two of the Number domains (Counting and Place Value sections): including examining key assessment items, and looking at the latest available student achievement data
• using what is learned to inform responsive teaching
• planning and teaching implications, including connections to the Victorian Lesson Plans (VLPs).

Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of the key components of the MOI, enhanced data literacy practices, and stronger pedagogical content knowledge for the relevant domains.

Workshop Synopsis:

In this workshop, Tracey and Claudia will focus on:

• understanding the overarching ideas referred to in the reports and how they relate to individual FDOI items
• mapping the FDOI to the Victorian Curriculum Version 2.0
• the common misconceptions/alerts associated with fractions and decimals, as identified by research and FDOI reports

Mode: Face-to-face

Date: Tuesday 9 September 2025

Time: 10am-1pm

Audience: Year P-6 teachers, school mathematics leaders, numeracy coordinators, year level leaders, teacher leaders.

Location:
Australian Catholic University
Greg Craven Centre, Level 7

Note: In person workshops have a cap of 30 participants. You will receive confirmation of your registration by email. If you miss out, you will be invited to register for the online session. Please ensure you have principal support to participate.

Workshop Synopsis:

In this workshop, Wendy and Claudia will focus on:

• understanding the growth points in relation to the Measurement and Space domains.
• mapping the MOI to the Victorian Curriculum Version 2.0
