Unfortunately, due to illness, this workshop has been cancelled.
Do you have students who need extension? Do you want to take them beyond the curriculum but are not quite sure how to or where to source materials? Dr Kumudini Dharmadasa and Mr. Howard Reeves are involved as volunteers with the Australian Mathematics Trust which conducts the Australian Mathematics Competition and student enrichment and training programs, leading to Australia’s participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad. In this workshop teachers will:
- be exposed to the mathematical content of the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians, including the Challenge and Enrichment materials
- consider different strategies to establish an enrichment program in their classes and schools
- develop problem solving strategies and identify the elements of a solution
- discuss the importance of the communication of mathematical ideas
Who For?: Mathematics teachers and numeracy leaders. There will be a focus on Years 5 – 8 but teachers of Years 9 – 12 are still welcome to attend. Please note that there is a limit of 35 attendees.
