USyd Maths Teachers

Two of my favourite mathematics educators making a real difference to mathematics education in NSW and beyond

📈 How do we modulate the difficulty of a mathematical task? Enjoyed hearing about this helpful framework from @MccreaEmma on the @mrbartonmaths podcast. (Hope you didn’t mind me adjusting the “I” into an “A” - thought it made a nicer acronym!) 🤓 #iteachmath #MTBoS

Facilitated 3 sessions at the #NumeracyCEC Conference exploring programming through the lens of connectivity & context. Teachers here are sorting & ordering sample activities from #ACSF from levels 1-5. A powerful task to run with your team & learn what level 3 looks like.

We have amazing teachers in NSW public schools. Tag a teacher below. #teachNSW #teacherappreciation #greatplacetowork

My 7-minute #SUSMAC19 presentation summarised and converted to a Twitter thread for our @usydmaths teachers: "I wish I had known this when I started teaching." #SUSMAC2019

🙌 Alumni Conference 2019 - the 6th annual gathering of mathematics teachers taught by @JudyAnderson6 at @Sydney_Uni! So wonderful to see past & future generations of educators encouraging and challenging each other to be the best teachers they can be. #SUSMAC19 #susmac2019

📊 @dounya_fattouh sharing her work as a change analyst for @nswcese - thanks Dounya for your courage in sharing the challenges & giving the next generation of teachers insight into all the work that supports schools & students! #SUSMAC19 #susmac2019

Brooke Hamilton uses 'Guess Who?' boards to explore mathematical vocabulary. She also shared a similar formative assessment resource available on @Desmos at teacher.desmos.com/polygraph, which gives the added bonus of collecting students' questions and answers. #SUSMAC19

1st TeachMeet @usydmaths #SUSMAC19 filled with great ideas & applications - jellybeans & probability - guess who to build vocab -cuisenaire rods for integration - MANSW FB page - tech in surveying - MoneySmart - virtual teaching @draketeach -Math notes in Google Classroom

Computation thinking- much overlap between teaching in maths and technologies @LeanneCameron #susmac2019

#SUSMAC19 is kicking off this morning with Robin Nagy, 'Refining Mathematical Learning through Engaging Technologies'.

I'm looking forward to reconnecting with @JudyAnderson6 and our @usydmaths alumni this Friday at #SUSMAC19. 🙌 This conference is always an insightful, engaging and inspiring day - here's to our 6th year together! 👏❤

🎓 Happy to see the @Sydney_Uni 2020 Undergraduate Guide land in my mailbox! Lots of exciting opportunities for growing the leaders of tomorrow. Available online here: sydney.edu.au/content/dam/co…

👇 Maths education folks - follow my head teacher Miriam, she's awesome 😎 @JudyAnderson6 @david_watson23 @attard_c @draketeach @mrglangford @kath_cartwright @LovelockBex @JanineLMcIntosh @markliddell @simonjob @DavidKButlerUoA @JakeLittle91

📢 @DoE_Mathematics teachers: Did you miss our Adobe Connect session, "Unpacking the New Mathematics Extension 1 and 2 Syllabuses"? You can now view the recording at your own pace i.e. ▶⏸🔍▶⏸🔍 connect.schools.nsw.edu.au/p7vao35ta8ng/ 🙋🏼Got a question❓Get in touch! 📞💻📧

The @stemacademysyd really is a platform for schools to learn from and inspire each other. 💙 I loved @PennantHillsHS's project around cleaning dirty water and they just shared with me that it was inspired by the @chesterhillhs project we shared last year! 🙌 #UsydSTEM

Another great lesson starter to spark mathematical discussion! @MathsNSW @usydmaths @NSWEducation #mathschat #engagingmaths twitter.com/CDawson18/stat…

And lots of that talent are USyd graduates - go @usydmaths twitter.com/doe_mathematic…
