Disney, Leigh; Barnes, Alan; Ey, Lesley; Geng, Gretchen – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2019
Advances in technology have seen a proliferation of touch-screen interfaces available to young children. These screens have changed the way in which young children engage with digital technology; with increased exposure and use, it raises debates about the suitability of integrating digital technology within early childhood settings. There are…

Turner, Paul; Thornton, Steve – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2017
This article draws on some ideas explored during and after a writing workshop to develop classroom resources for the reSolve: Mathematics by Inquiry (www.resolve.edu.au) project. The project develops classroom and professional learning resources that will promote a spirit of inquiry in school mathematics from Foundation to year ten. The…

West, John – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2016
This article takes the position that teachers can use simple manipulative materials to model relatively complex situations and in doing so scaffold the development of students' number sense and early algebra skills. While students' early experiences are usually dominated by the cardinal aspect of number (i.e., counting the number of items in a…

Dawe, Lloyd – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2017
This paper addresses the continuing need for mathematics teachers to enrich their mathematical knowledge beyond the school curriculum, in order to effectively engage students in creative and imaginative thinking, particularly, but not exclusively, students who show exceptional promise. The author, a retired university professor, works staff and…

Young-Loveridge, Jenny; Mills, Judith – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2011
Much has been written about the value of concrete manipulatives for supporting students' mathematics learning. This is particularly true for the domain of fractions and decimals. Understanding of decimal place-value is seen as critical for students' mathematics learning. To understand decimals, students need first to have a solid understanding of…

Prodromou, Theodosia – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2013
This research study investigates how pre-service teachers integrate statistical content, students' thinking, and pedagogy as they examine how 11- to 12-year olds develop mathematically. The findings provide insights into: a) how pre-service teachers identify some of the difficulties that students commonly have, and b) what pedagogical approaches…

Berman, Jeanette – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2011
Place value underpins much of what people do in number. In this article, the author describes some simple tasks that may be used to assess students' understanding of place value. This set of tasks, the Six Tasks of Place Value (SToPV), takes five minutes to administer and can give direct insight into a student's understanding of the number system…

Seah, Rebecca – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
Despite the emphasis that children should have a robust sense of number and a thorough understanding of fraction (National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2008), many students continue to struggle with these concepts. Booker Diagnostic Assessment Framework (Booker, 2011) can inform decision about teaching that improves students' learning outcomes.…

Yost, David – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2008
A derivative is the limit of a quotient. It is an abstraction of division. Since division is harder to understand than multiplication, teachers teach it later, hopefully only after a sound understanding of multiplication has been attained. For the same reason, it may make sense to teach integration first, and move on to differential calculus only…

Hopkins, Sarah; Egeberg, Helen – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2009
There exists a substantial number of studies that have identified a subset of low-achieving mathematics students who do not develop a reliance on retrieval for simple addition but who continue to use a counting strategy to solve these problems. There are few studies, however, that have focused on how retrieval of simple addition facts may be…

Chinnappan, Mohan; Pandian, Ambigapathy – Educational Research for Policy and Practice, 2009
Two developments have contributed to the convergence of views about the benefits of real-life and inquiry-based pedagogies in mathematics learning. First, the mathematics teaching community is increasingly focused on the learning of mathematics that involves the transfer of prior knowledge to novel problem-solving situations, a key element in…

Warren, Elizabeth; Benson, Samantha; Green, Sandra – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2007
The concept of a function is fundamental to virtually every aspect of mathematics and every branch of quantitative science. Presently this type of thinking is carolled at the secondary level, and yet it has many benefits for deepening the understanding of early arithmetic. This is particularly so in the way that operations can be considered as…
