Direct linkHall, Jennifer; Robinson, Travis; Forgasz, Helen – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
In order to investigate pre-service teachers (PSTs') understandings of the terms mathematics and numeracy, the authors conducted a study at one Australian university. The PSTs were enrolled in a mandatory unit about numeracy across the curriculum, in which both teachers' and students' numeracy capabilities were considered. The study took place…

Hilton, Annette; Hilton, Geoff – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2018
This article describes part of a study in which researchers designed lesson sequences based around using a string number line to help teachers support children's development of relative thinking and understanding of linear scale. In the first year of the study, eight teachers of Years 3-5 participated in four one-day professional development…

Day, Lorraine – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2013
Lorraine Day reports on some of the findings of the Teaching Teachers for the Future Project. The Australian Curriculum constantly makes reference to digital technologies so we believe our readers will be interested to see how teachers are making use of technology in classrooms across Western Australia. The results may be used to…

Faragher, Rhonda; Brady, Jo; Clarke, Barbara; Gervasoni, Ann – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2008
The mathematical development of children with Down syndrome (DS) is largely uncharted territory and yet the experience of parents and teachers reminds people that children with DS can and do learn mathematics. In this article, the authors describe a study that examines the mathematical development of children with DS, and offer suggestions arising…

Peer reviewedChartres, Mike – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 1996
Hypothesizes that exploring the mathematical ideas behind mathematical terms enables children to gain insight into the structure of a number system and provides a basis for powerful playing with this structure. Describes visualizing mathematical ideas for exploring aspects of mathematics. Offers rectangular numbers to link and explore structures…
