Mathematics

A coding club and inviting research scientists to speak to students at lunch times are two of the ways this school is working with its parent community to develop STEM learning.

How incorporating hands-on tasks has increased engagement in one educator’s science classroom.

Teacher expectations and morale have a role to play in tackling low student performance.

The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute has highlighted a slide in Year 12 high-level mathematics participation over the past 20 years.

The first national STEM Programme Index brings together information on more than 250 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics opportunities available to schools and students.

What resources are needed for teaching in context? Dave Tout discusses.

Five global education experts sat down with Teacher to give a snapshot of the developments and challenges in mathematics in their respective countries.

‘The emphasis is that the students are the ones doing the learning, not the teachers doing the teaching.’ Professor Peter Sullivan discusses a system project designed to challenge students in mathematics.

Nearly 1500 students in Years 5 to 12 took part in the latest Australian STEM Video Game Challenge. Here, Teacher provides an overview of the award winners for 2015.

‘You need to plan for what might arise, remembering that the range of skills and abilities of the group is likely to be very wide.’ Dave Tout discusses identifying individual maths skills and targeting lessons.
