Primary teachers: If you're a fan of Greedy Pig (addition and probability),you might want to consider: "The Mouse, The Cat and The Cheese". Similar mechanics but students play in pairs using a number chart as a gameboard Toby Russo Michael Minas Angela Rogers researchgate.net/publication/37…

Our newest task Struggly supports fluency with maths facts by making sense of multiple representations. The card deck features five types of representations! Check us out at  struggly.com/classroom

One of the biggest shifts in my practice over the past few years when teaching maths through structured inquiry is the consideration given to the preliminary task. We discuss some of our ideas here: Toby Russo katherin cartwright Angela Rogers Dr Helen J Williams she/her🇪🇺 researchgate.net/publication/37…

Thanks to Robert Kaplinsky for headlining this year's MAV conference in Victoria. We've dedicated most of our editorial for this issue of Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom to his stimulating session on questioning The Mathematical Association of Victoria (MAV) Michael Minas AAMT Michaela Epstein Eddie Woo

This is wonderful to read. I hadn't used Questioning Scenarios in many years so it's rewarding to see it resonate. You can learn more and download them here: robertkaplinsky.com/questioning-sc…

We're planning for next conference on 24/3. I'd love to hear what topics people would like our presenters to cover on the day? Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to share their thoughts with us, I know this will be very helpful for our planning.

Descriptions for each session for our upcoming conference have been uploaded to our website . Lots of people have asked for this info, so figured it was worth a social media post. On a side note, I'm very excited about the topics. It's shaping up to be a great day of maths PL!

Here are five games which situate retrieval practice of number facts and strategies within a bigger, meaningful context. We've enjoyed playing across a broad range of ages levels and can attest to curiosity they spark through play. mathsplay.org/blog/5-playful… #Maths #Play #MTBoS
