@KrisWestcott1 @DrElisevdJ @aliciamareetodd 👏👏 Brilliant! Wish I was there

This video from @gfletchy makes me realize that I never REALLY understood division as a kid. I was just a good robot.

I'm very excited to present an intense, two-day masterclass focused on primary and middle years mathematics! Great opportunity for regional/remote/international teachers & leaders. @WSU_EKN @AISNSW @aussieEDchat @AcademyVIC @imanewteacher @nswppa @learnPSNSW #mathseducation

@DrElisevdJ Busy mind Elise. On the way home on last week I forgot how to use my Apple wallet when paying for groceries. No card no cash. I literally stood there for 20 mins trying to work it out, then asked for help. 🤦‍♀️ Was told “technology!”

[Bridgeen Pritchard @bridgeenpritch]

@DrElisevdJ Haha! This is brilliant

Advice for teaching often includes the directive to restructure complex tasks to avoid working memory overload. What is not mentioned is that working memory capacity more than doubles in size from ages 5 to 11.5 years, although within each age level there are also...

[Michaela Epstein @MathsCirclesOz]

Your typical curriculum presents maths as a laundry list of skills. These are skills to be done one by one & ticked off when ‘completed’ (with little intention of revisiting what’s been done once).

Yet, at the heart of maths lie connections.

Adrian Simpson on the
"The complex blob of 'cause'" and how often "evidence of" something is confused with "evidence for"

[Bridgeen Pritchard @bridgeenpritch]

@mathillustrated I was so struck today by the lecture today and the discussions that it has ignited. As a practitioner, we need to keep the research methods in mind, remaining aware of classroom complexity. The mathematics community is truly outstanding.

Looking at the use of ‘evidence of’ and ‘evidence for’ in Ed research.’ by Prof Adrian Simpson. “You can’t build a nest with one stick.”Wonderful, thought-provoking! @icme_15 #icme15

[Bridgeen Pritchard @bridgeenpritch]

@kath_cartwright @KrisWestcott1 I loved this analogy too. Together the macro and micro build strong research foundations.

[katherin cartwright @kath_cartwright]

@icme_15 panel on evidence in math ed was fascinating. What Adrian Simpson said resonated with me, that you can’t just interpret one experimental study to get evidence of ‘best practice’ or evidence-based practice. It takes a web, or nest of contextual studies. #icme15

[Nadia Walker @Nadia_Walker_ed]

A few takeaways from Prof. Kaye Stacey's Castelnuovo Award Lecture: Teachers need to have a 'bifocal' view, able to see & understand mathematics through the eyes of our students, and developing teachers PCK and content knowledge. BRAVO KAYE! @icme_15 #ICME15 #iteachmaths

[Bridgeen Pritchard @bridgeenpritch]

@greg_ashman It is actually really wonderful to hear from people of different backgrounds, experiences and views from around the world, There really was something for everyone here. The mathematics community is just wonderful.

[Bridgeen Pritchard @bridgeenpritch]

A remarkable woman, Kaye Stacey! Well deserved winner of the Emma Castelnuova Award for her over 40 years of research in mathematics education. Such a brilliant conference. Lucky to be part of this in Australia in 2024🥰#icme15 @icme_15

[Bridgeen Pritchard @bridgeenpritch]

@kath_cartwright @MERGA_maths @aamtinc @USyd_SSESW A well deserved award @kath_cartwright and Jenni.

What a brilliant 2024 MANSW PAM Pre K-8 conference! Inspiring content from @MattSextonACU Kristen Tripet @Science_Academy @Nadia_Walker_ed @rebeccalpalmer5 Di Siemon @mminas8 @bridgeenpritch @KrisWestcott1 @kath_cartwright Wrap up of sessions (& mine!): https://t.co/wOMVmLICiE

@MrDixonMath Welcome the chance to be challenged, and in the same thread, always have the courage to challenge. It’s what makes us grow in thought.
