There is no shortage of advice about how to approach mathematics and statistics teaching in primary school and it is often difficult to know the ‘best’ way to structure mathematics and statistics programmes so that all students can access ideas and make sound progress.
In this webinar, Associate Professor Fiona Ell and Dr Lisa Darragh (University of Auckland) discuss principles that teachers can use to design maths lessons, and mathematics and statistics programmes more broadly. They explore what research suggests are ways to organise and design for learning that include all students and stimulate engagement and progress in mathematics and statistics.
To help you navigate the webinar easily, there is a list of the key topics covered in the session below, including the time each was discussed. The key ideas discussed in this webinar are also shared in a short insight article.
