Kathryn Salkeld – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2024
This article provides an example of the implementation of school-wide professional learning as part of an Australian Research Council grant and the Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) called Exploring Mathematical Sequences of Connected, Cumulative and Challenging Tasks (EMC[superscript 3] ) (Sullivan et al., 2021). By using sequences of…

Chinofunga, Musarurwa David; Chigeza, Philemon; Taylor, Subhashni – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
This paper argues for effective sequencing of mathematics content to aid transition from junior (Year 7 to Year 10) to senior mathematics (Year 11 to Year 12) curriculum in Queensland, Australia and provides a tool for sequencing the mathematics content. Planning templates and samples are available to schools; however, it is imperative for…

Ferguson, Sarah – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
This paper reports on a study that explored the use of cognitively challenging tasks with low-attaining mathematics students and in particular, their teachers' attempts at scaffolding. A major finding was that responding appropriately to scaffolding opportunities was challenging for the teachers. In this paper two main factors are discussed which…
