This is why it is so important to attend to elementary teacher's mindsets and remove maths anxiety - more important research from Sian Beilock

Thanks johnqgoh - that’s the sort of reaction we were hoping for! It was a big collaborative effort across teams within NSW Dept of Education. Jackie Blue, Ayesha Ali Khan and I love the work that was included for “launch one” and we’re super excited for future updates too!

Kindy students at Kieraville PS looked for collections of three. They took photos of their discoveries & sorted their images into how they saw the three-ness of three (as 3; as 2 and 1; as 1 and 1 and 1) & wrote about their findings. Then they said "Over to you, mathematicians!"

🪄 Mind reading magic? I love this little resource on the NSW Dept of Education Everyday Maths Hub! There are lots of fun tricks adults and kids can work on together to amaze family and friends... Can YOU figure out the mathematics behind the magic? 🤔 education.nsw.gov.au/campaigns/math…

I love the session selfie tradition you’ve started us on Jackie Blue!

Today's lunch time fun (take 2) - an episode of "Mabble: battle royale!" It's Ayesha Ali Khan's turn...what would you suggest if you were part of Ayesha's team Prof Catherine Attard? (We feel like you might have some insights 😊) What are you thinking Jackie Blue?

This is absolutely incredible. We need to run some sort of mathematical art competition in NSW public schools using #Desmos. Michelle Tregoning Ayesha Ali Khan @Daniel_P_DoE Meagan Rodda David Watson Jennifer Smith Eddie Woo

I love your work (and the work of the team at Campbellfield) Suzanne Hokin! Great sweaty-brained thinking little mathematicians!

I feel so privileged to have been a teeny part of this story with you Campbellfield Public! You remind me that the effort and discomfort is always worthwhile. Such lovely and caring stories you share @annemathswatson - thank you for writing this book!

We throughly enjoy preparing the PL and playing maths with some of our students... and we feel so pleased when we contribute to having sweaty-brained, happy and excited teachers taking mathematics! It’s a real joy!

Celebrate #WomenInMaths Day on 12 May with a screening of the doco “Secrets of the Surface”, featuring mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani. The online/in-person event at University of Sydney will be followed by talks w/ two mathematicians featured in the film.bit.ly/3uigdDT #May12WIM

That made my day too! It’s also made reflect on my views about spaghetti which really is both complex and tasty!

I learnt about using metaphor tasks from Janette Bobis at Sydney Uni. This is a nice paper the team wrote researchgate.net/publication/28…

I think you’ll appreciate this update on the Everyday Maths Hub johnqgoh. As always, there are plans afoot but it’s nice to share this milestone that many different teams helped achieve. Our inner mathematicians feel ☺️. You can find the resources here education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-l…

Michelle Tregoning johnqgoh Jackie Blue Ayesha Ali Khan Kate Wootten I just checked out the Arabic translation. What a great resource for families to engage with their child’s learning. Schools could so easily share them on their school app. 👏

Thank you both! (p.s I love a good challenge so I’ll see what I can do with the challenge you offered!)

Jackie Blue Michelle Tregoning Ayesha Ali Khan - What do you think??

Ahhhh…Old Guildford PS - Built on Darug Land you made our day! Thanks so much for sharing the things you’re doing and thinking! We really like that you’re having a ball and doing some hard thinking too. We look forward to the updates from your classrooms too!
