Kate Quane (PhD)

Hot off the press. In this latest open access article I report on research that examines the confluence between children’s attitudes towards mathematics and the use of manipulatives. @UniSA_CRESI #mtbos link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We congratulate Pacific Island scholars on the launch of the Pacific Academy of Sciences. This is a historic occasion and one the Australian Academy of Science is proud to have played a part in. #PacificScience

@nomad_penguin @questacon Some are from curriculum corporation 1993 on them. Others looked like they are made by a puzzle enthusiast!!!

@KateQMaths @questacon Wow! Are these Maths Task Centre ones? They look like it!

I have struck mathematical gold with these ten puzzles from an Op Shop. Great timing as well as @nomad_penguin and I are co ducting professional learning sessions that have a focus on teaching mathematics through problem solving. I feel like my @questacon days are returning

@Nadia_Walker_ed Yes, it will all depend on the orientation of the shape. I am reminder of Hourigan And Levy’s 2015 article in APMC that describes shapes as prototypical and non-prototypical. files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ109… @aamtinc

HELP... By mathematical definition, a diagonal line connects 2 non-adjacent vertices or corners. I'm wondering if a line can be both diagonal & vertical, because of the orientation of the shape? Example of rotated square 🤔 #iteachmaths #maths #MTBOS #geometry #spatialreasoning

Super excited about this special delivery. I had a lovely encounter with Karen Karp @icme_15 discussing mathematics and today , as promised I received a signed copy of the recent version of Elementary and Middle School Mathematics. Guess what I’ll be reading!

All ready for a parent workshop on supporting children at home in mathematics at a local primary school. Part of the workshop will be focusing on what do you notice? What do you wonder? I couldn’t help but doing some noticing and wondering myself about the seats!

We're thrilled to announce that the theme for the 2025 International Day of Mathematics is “Mathematics, Art, and Creativity”. This theme celebrates the creativity found in both mathematical discovery and art. Learn more: #theme" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">idm314.org/#theme

A great read for educators! @hennyboof #iteachmath #mathchat

The statistics of @icme_15 are in! This was my first ICME. It was great to present an aspect of my research and to connect will fellow mathematics educators across the world!

It is great to get further insights into the history of @icme_15 in the closing ceremony

Final plenary @icme15 by Prof Jason Sharples in the mathematics of fire. It was great to hear the many mathematical concepts that span from the primary to tertiary years and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives of fire.

The green carpet in the exhibition centre is bringing back vivid memories from primary school classrooms in Sydney. #australianeducation #primaryeducation @icme15

What counts as a problem? What counts as mathematics? A conversation starter indeed!!! @RG1gal @math

Now closing thoughts at the plenary discussion.

Currently listening to a great engaging debate about mathematics education responding to humanity’s problems. @icme_15 chaired by @mathyawp

And now the conversation turns to the issue of teacher shortage. @mathyawp @RG1gal @ICME15

@icme_15 @mathyawp @RG1gal

The plenary panel tackling so many issues and challenges in mathematics education @icme_15 @mathyawp @RG1gal

Another thought provoking question posed by @mathyawp ‘Are there practices that we can do in our classroom that overcomes the polarisation.?’ @icme_15

Thank you @RG1gal for posing the question “When are students creators of mathematics?” @icme_15 @mathyawp
