The inaugural Australian Maths Teachers Online Con

The inaugural Australian Maths Teachers Online Conference is LIVE!! So excited to share such amazing Australian presenters with over 3350(!) teachers from around the world (my goal was 1000 registrations!).

My passion is making stronger links between research and classroom practice and this conference is one step along the path to achieving this goal! If you haven't registered you can still do so (link in bio). You have 3 weeks FREE access to the recordings!

Teacher Post: So it has taken me over 6 months

Teacher Post:
So it has taken me over 6 months of planning...but I am excited to invite you all to the inaugural Australian Mathematics Teachers Online Conference (AMTOC)!!
For many years I have seen and attended excellent online conferences from the US or UK, so thought we should host one here in Australia!
SO I reached out to 9 AMAZING Australian Maths Educators and they ALL jumped at the chance to join in!
The AMTOC is completely FREE for all attendees and all the sessions will be available for you to access from the 21st January until the 11th of February so you don't have to interrupt your holidays if you don't want to! 🏖
The conference theme is: If I was to choose one thing to focus on in 2022 it would be...
You can read more about the presenters and register through the link in my bio
I am so excited!!
PS: Feel free to spread the word through your teacher networks!

For the most part I believe Early Maths should not

For the most part I believe Early Maths should not be planned. It is so much better to be on the lookout for opportunities to include some mathematical discussion in what your children are doing/interested in.
The beauty of maths is it is everywhere, so if your child is into dinosaurs there is maths you can about related to dinosaurs- how tall they were, how big their feet/teeth were...
If they are into fairies (and I am speaking from experience here) you can talk about how big fairies might be compared to a leaf, or how many fairies would fit in a cup.
Maths can literally be bought incidentally into everything!
So give it a go this week, take something your child is interested in and infuse some maths!!

This week's Where’s the Maths Monday is all abou

This week's Where’s the Maths Monday is all about water play!
Mr 2 and I were waiting for his sisters to finish their irish dancing lessons so we visited a park which has a great water play area!
Luckily some lovely people had left old buckets there for visitors to play with!
Mr 2 had the time of his life! And of course, I made the most of the mathematical opportunities that emerged!
I prompted him with these 3 discussions:

✅Comparison- I asked him "can you make the red bucket have MORE water than the green bucket?"
✅Size: "Can you fill the SMALL green bucket and put the water in the BIG red bucket?"
✅Shape: Can you turn the big CIRCLE around to make the water flow?

These were 30 second conversations! Remember Maths is everywhere! particularly in play!

Keep this one in mind next time your children are playing with water!
