David Hemer – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2023
Whilst there has been significant focus on STEM in Australian education for several years, there has been very little focus on the integration of Digital Technologies (especially coding) with the other STEM disciplines. Similarly, high school mathematics education remains largely a standalone discipline. This paper describes a full year…

Hemer, David – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
This paper describes an investigation looking at the underlying mathematics of poker machines. The aim of the investigation is for students to get an appreciation of how poker machines are designed to ensure that in the long-term players will inevitably lose when playing. The first part of this paper describes how students can model a simple poker…

Blackley, Susan; Howell, Jennifer – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2019
In this paper, we use our qualitative research notes and observations to portray a model for integrated STEM education and summarise primary school students' typical and recurring ways in which they engaged with each new robot. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: first, to unpack key elements of the Australian Curriculum: Technologies in order…

Thomson, Ian – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2017
Snowflakes falling in Brisbane, Australia would likely make news headlines during any season of a given year, even during winter. Year 8 students at Ormiston College which is located in Brisbane, have made their own snowflakes--of a kind. Using the programming language Scratch, all Year 8 Mathematics students wrote code to construct Swedish…

King, Alessandra – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2015
Spatial reasoning--the ability to visualise and play with shapes in one's mind--is essential in many fields, and crucial in any Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics [STEM] discipline. It is, for example, the ability that the engineer needs to build bridges; the chemist to see the three-dimensional structure of a molecule; the architect to…

Quinnell, Lorna – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2014
The importance of mathematical visual images is indicated by the introductory paragraph in the Statistics and Probability content strand of the Australian Curriculum, which draws attention to the importance of learners developing skills to analyse and draw inferences from data and "represent, summarise and interpret data and undertake…

Harvey, Brian – National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), 2010
Data relating to occupations has been collected in the national apprentice and trainee collection since 1994. The coding used conforms to classifications endorsed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The latest version issued from the ABS is the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). The classification…

Priddis, Lynn E.; Howieson, Noel D. – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2010
This article describes a procedure which has proven useful in facilitating narratives about experience of everyday family situations in order to provide insights into the inner world of children around five-seven years. The Windows to Attachment in Young Children (WAYC) consists of the procedure itself and scoring frameworks through which the…

Perso, Thelma – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2009
In May 2008, the first National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) test was administered across Australia to determine the standard of literacy and numeracy achievement of Australia's students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Some students did very well on the tests and some did not. This type of test can tell a great deal about…
